configure errors with --enable-static

[openworld@…]

I'm trying to use --enable-static --enable-x264 option and am getting an error:

Checking for inttypes.h (required) ... no
Checking for bitypes.h (inttypes.h predecessor) ...
Error: Cannot find header either inttypes.h or bitypes.h. There is no chance for compilation to succeed.

Check "configure.log" if you do not understand why it failed.

configure.log shows this error:

============ Checking for inttypes.h (required) ============

#include <inttypes.h>
int main(void) { return 0; }

cc -Wall -Wno-switch -Wpointer-arith -Wredundant-decls -O4 -ffast-math -fomit-frame-pointer -mdynamic-no-pic -falign-loops=16 -shared-libgcc -I. -static -ffast-math -o /var/folders/p8/p8aE1AvyFueuObTIsS6-eE+++TI/-Tmp-mplayer-conf-25414-71521 /var/folders/p8/p8aE1AvyFueuObTIsS6-eE+++TI/-Tmp-mplayer-conf-643-71521.c

Result is: no

At the same time I can compile this test manually from command line:

#include <inttypes.h>
int main(void) { return 0; }

and have none of errors. So, I believe, the problem is covered somwhere in the configure script.

"empty" configure works OK.

Do you mean you can compile on the command-line with exactly these options? Seems really unlikely.
I'm not sure if anyone ever uses -static on OSX, that seems like a rather likely cause for the issue.

check how mplayerosx extended does it?

--enable-static is broken even on Linux for me...
