No ... the system uses some data files (character sets and time zones 
at least) ... so you have to distribute them and put them in the 
correct directory hierarchy even if you were able to statically link.  
Simplest just to distribute all the shared libraries as part of your 
package.
You can certainly distribute a full GNUstep setup as part of a package 
though.
