[ale] Making a static binary?

[nomad at orci.com (Nomad the Wanderer)]

Ok,
  I have a number of machines.  I like to build certain apps and spread
them around, but I don't want to always spread around support libraries,
like kdelibs, especially if I'm only running a single application.

  If given your generic application where you cd to the source dir,
and then do a ./configure and make,  is there a simple compile option
I can add to make staticly compiled binaries?  What and where?
