Erm, depends on what you mean by making the module static.  I presume
you mean you want it to statically link against any libraries it uses,
which should just be a matter of shiming in -Bstatic into the right
place in the link command.  If you mean you want to build a new perl
binary with the module linked in statically you want to add
LINKTYPE=static.


In either case, perldoc ExtUtils::MakeMaker probably will get you
further on the way.
