Not that I've tried to do this myself, but I would imagine it *might* be 
possible to build the boot image runner statically with the right 
combination of flags.  I'm not sure that would get you very far, because

- The boot image runner's purpose is to load the 3 RVM image files and 
then transfer control to them, ie a kind of dynamic linking.

- JNI fundamentally requires dynamic linking.  The class library 
initializers call System.loadLibrary to access their native components.

What are you trying to accomplish ?
