Why? You're not reading other stuff in this thread? :-)

If you had read Luke's post closer, you would have seen:

    +   Static linking of programs is still supported; just set
        LDSTATIC=-static in the Makefile or make(1)'s environment.
        Of course, such programs will not be able to benefit from
        future features such as dynamic modules for nsswitch, locale,
        authentication (PAM ?), etc.

Take care,
