I tried to link opencv statically & it decided to link against dylibs, anyway. to get the errors I deleted the dylibs from my system & figured out by the missing symbols whats actually required which are these libs/framekworks static=libtegra_hal,tbb,static=ittnotify,framework=OpenCL,z
export OPENCV_LINK_LIBS=+static=opencv_core,static=opencv_imgproc,static=opencv_calib3d,static=libtegra_hal,tbb,static=ittnotify,framework=OpenCL,z
