It is not GNU make but GCC which interprets -static and -shared and
calls the linker accordingly.

I have added a configure option called --enable-full-static which links
everything statically:

AC_ARG_ENABLE(full-statuc,
   [  --enable-full-static    Link everything in statically],,
   enable_full_static=no)
