 Your chances of getting help with this question would increase
if you mentioned the type and version of the OS, compiler, and
linker you used, as well as the version of kaffe you're experimenting
with. 

Having said that, a few comments.
....awt/external_wrappers.h is the file to look for function declarations.
It's automatically created usings sed.

--with-static doesn't produce static binaries (you'd indeed need
-Bstatic for that), all it does is link the kaffe's libraries statically
against the kaffe binary.  This needs to be pointed out somewhere
in the documentation.
