As far as i know, these configure switches concern building of libcurl:
--enable-static und --disable-shared means to build the static libcurl libs,
but not the dynamic ones...

I try to achieve the static linking with CFLAGS="-static" and/or
LDFLAGS="..(-B)static.." but then, i get the known error
gethostbyname() not in libraries, because there is no libresolv.a on Solaris
(i think since Sol7).

So i think the CFLAGS="-static" is the right way, but how to avoid the
problem with gethostbyname()?
