how do I compile lynx so that curses is statically linked?

I hope you will forgive me for posting a question where I am doing
the work on a Sun. I am compiling lynx, and I am tranferring the
binary to another Sun. The machine I am putting the binary on does
not have the curses library on it. When I try to start lynx I get the
error

ld.so.1: lynx: fatal: libcurses.so.1: open failed: No such file or directory
Killed

I am thinking of compiling lynx with the curses library statically linked.
I suppose I could also copy the library over and add to the library search
path.

How do I do either one of these?

I am primarily leaning towards the static linking solution.
