I don't remember an --enable-static, but configure accepts any --enable
options without complaint whether they are used or not, so provided you
didn't also give --enable-dynamic it would have had the desired effect
before the change -- but so would --enable-moon-made-of-green-cheese.

3.1.6-test-1: configure --enable-static no longer means --disable-dynamic?

[Bart Schaefer]

I was sure this worked at one time, but maybe it worked only because using
--enable-dynamic was not the default.  In any event, either --enable-static
should work, or the configure help should report --disable-dynamic rather
than --enable-dynamic as an option, or both.
