How static are you trying to be?

For comparison, it's worth noting that pkg-config doesn't support
mixed static+dynamic linking,
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9917
probably because it's hard to know which dependencies one wants to
be static, and which dynamic.

(Me, I think I just manually find and add the dependencies as if my
app depended on them.)
