You cannot "statically compile" a program, you compile it and then 
statically _link_ it. So, first you have to use LDFLAGS instead of 
CFLAGS, and another good trick with autoconf based source trees is 
setting this already during the configure process, e.g.:

LDFLAGS="-static" ./configure

and then go on just as before, i.e. make && make install. Before make 
install, you can check the binary with ldd and file whether it is really 
statically linked, but it should be anyway (I tried it out right now).

HTH,
