If it is a crash, can you please paste the stack trace that you can find in
the log file or on standard output? This is really useful for us!

nothing to report here.

Please provide any additional information below.

I tried to investigate a bit and I found out that actually libtool seems to 
ignore '-dynamic' and '-static' options, even if they're clearly mentioned and 
documented in the man page, therefore I'd say it looks like a libtool's own 
problem. Using ld should do, even though "standard" linux section is compiling 
just fine, therefore removing lines 18-27 solved the problem. Makefile I'm 
talking about is deps/hiredis/Makefile.

This is probably caused by a non-default libtool. Maybe the build process for 
the static lib should be changed to use "ranlib" or something like that...

Quick update, I experienced the exact same issue and it was resolved by doing:

removing lines 18-27 solved the problem. Makefile I'm talking about is 
deps/hiredis/Makefile.

A note, you must also comment out the line 36 (endif)
