How to build a static jidgo-file for Slackware64:

$ tar xvf jigdo-0.7.3.tar.bz2
$ cd jigdo-0.7.3
$ patch -p1 < ../jigdo.gcc43.patch
$ ./configure --prefix=/usr --without-gui
$ cd src
$ make Y='-L/usr/lib64 -lpthread -static' all-msg jigdo-file strip

The resulting jigdo-file binary will be in the current directory. Copy it to
a directory in your $PATH - like, "/usr/local/bin"
