Yep, all I need are static libraries so that I can build executables to 
distribute that have some, however limited, chance of being portable 
across different Linux distributions, or even other Debian workstations 
that may not have all the prerequisite software installed.

OpenFabrics isn't an issue for me. We build specific executables for our 
"big iron" systems that users can access. This is more about a single 
workstation, or at best a few workstations connected via GigE.
