You can tell the configure script to use alternate compile options like so:

CFLAGS="-static" ./configure
make

When I do this on my own box, I do get a bunch of warnings about various
functions which need shared libraries (getservent, gethostbyname, and so on), so
you may need to do more to get "true" static binaries (maybe I need to change
glibc somehow, or use uClibc).
