Sure, it seems like a reasonable fix to me under the circumstances.
I just want to make sure you're aware that this means linking together
all libraries statically:
libotr, libgcrypt and libgpg-error
Should one of these be affected by a security release, pidgin-otr will
have to be rebuilt. I suppose the security team should be made aware
of the situation, hence me CC-ing security team. If everyone is still
ok with that, I'll upload a statically linked pidgin-otr soon.
Cheers
