Ho do I statically compile the `marco` binary?

How do I statically compile the marco binary? When I compile it, I get a small binary (tens of KB), that is statically linked to the marco private libraries. I'd like to obtain something like the MATE binary, which is not linked to the private libraries (and it's indeed considerably bigger, hundreds of KB).

I've tried to find out the flags and tested a few, but when I try the closest setting I can think of:

./autogen.sh --enable-shared=no --enable-static=yes

I get an error, during build, about duplicated main function.

Thanks!

Ok. Took me a while to figure out - it was older versions that had fatter marco binaries (I was using, as reference, an official older Ubuntu package).
