Do you mean:

Doesn't the fact that I have the libraries liboctave.a etc. suggest that
was done already?
Or do you mean adding the --static flag to the Makefile? If so, where? I
tried adding it to the 'all' target so that it reads:
all: header-msg config-check
$(MAKE) -f octMakefile all
but make complained.
For what it's worth, I just tried
./configure --enable-static
which produced liboctave.a. However, if I run ranlib liboctave.a, I get:
ranlib liboctave.a
ranlib: file: liboctave.a(oct-fftw.o) has no symbols

feeling stumped...
