Static extensions: not building

General

I was building with -DSTATIC_EXTENSIONS and got the following error:

It can be fixed by disabling emacs, but wanted to point it out.

Thanks. Disabled sweep when building with static extensions. sweep depends on dynamic linking. Anyway, I’d assume one uses the static extension mechanism for deployment while sweep is for development.
