well, i'd say: try it, what do you have to lose ?

you could also try the "--enable-static" flag for the configure (on my machine
it then fails to find the the GL-libraries -- so maybe...)

i have never tried to link Gem only statically against all the libraries needed.
on my system it fails (but i have nvidia's openGL-drivers which are dynamic only).
and of course, you will have to build gem again once you want hw-acceleration...
