Are you doing a `developer's build' (i.e., `make devel; make' in
`freetype2', then a simple `make' in `freetype2-demos')?  This should
create statically linked binaries quite easily.

We only provide assembler code (or compiler-specific optimizations)
for `FT_MulFix'.  Maybe it makes sense to try something similar for
`FT_DivFix' also...
