[kaffe] reduce size of kaffe-bin

[Nektarios K. Papadopoulos]

I guess --with-staticbin is the cause.

I think that if you already have the necessary libraries (libc etc) in 
your embedded target you don't need the kaffe-bin to be static

I thing the same applies for --with-staticvm

BTW my strong arm kaffe-bin is 120K with the following configuration:
CC=arm-linux-gcc NM=arm-linux-nm AR=arm-linux-ar ../kaffe/configure 
--host=arm-linux
--build=i686-linux --with-class-library-profile=osgi_foundation 
--with-engine=intrp -
-enable-pure-java-math --without-esd --without-alsa --with-awt=no 
--prefix=/tmp/kaffe
-arm --with-jikes=$HOME/usr/bin/jikes

and after arm-linux-strip.

But I DO have the required libraries in my target which take a 
respectable amount of space themselves.
