    $ configure --help | egrep 'lib|share'

    `/usr/local/bin', `/usr/local/lib' etc.  You can specify
      --libexecdir=DIR        program executables [EPREFIX/libexec]
      --datadir=DIR           read-only architecture-independent data 
[PREFIX/share]
      --sharedstatedir=DIR    modifiable architecture-independent data 
[PREFIX/com]
      --libdir=DIR            object code libraries [EPREFIX/lib]
      --enable-shared=PKGS    build shared libraries default=yes
      --enable-static=PKGS    build static libraries default=yes
      --disable-libtool-lock  avoid locking (might break parallel builds)
      --with-libraries=DIR    site library directories for readline, etc in DIR
      --with-mmap             force use of mmap instead of shared memory support

Don't know for sure, but --enable-static sounds like a winner.
