Well, that means you cannot use it with shared libraries at all.  In
that case, the simplest way for you would be to
  ./configure --disable-shared CC=gcc
  make CCLD='purify gcc'

so that purify is only actually used while linking.  If the code uses
C++ as well, you also need to override CXXLD etc.
