I managed to pass configure part a few moments ago I found this:
if test "x$enable_dynamic_linking" != "xyes" -a "x$blb_cv_static_glib" = "xno"; then
        AC_MSG_ERROR([static GLib libraries not found (a file named libglib-2.0.a), either link GLib dynamically using 
the --enable-dynamic-linking or install a static GLib])
fi
in configure.in, so blb_cv_static_glib was what I needed. But it would be an overkill if I would need a couple of more 
libraries

blb_cv_static_glib="/usr/local/inp/glib/lib/libglib-2.0.a" LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/inp/glib/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH 
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/inp/glib/lib/pkgconfig/:/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig ./configure --enable-static-linking --
prefix=/usr/local/inp/syslog-ng-sparc-sun10

did the thing for me.
