That's not something the libcurl configure scripts support in the general
case. However, it should work if all the dependent libaries are available
*only* as static libraries, and all their pkg-config files are correctly
configured for those static libraries. And, of course, it should also
work in the case where all the features dependent on external libraries
are turned off with --disable-* and the -static flag is passed to the linker
with LDFLAGS.

It looks like you're interested in linking against OpenSSL
statically. There's a section in the INSTALL file about that special
case.

The easiest way is probably going to be to build libcurl normally, then look
at the link command that's executed at the end and run it manually with
tweaks to explicitly point to the static versions of the dependent
libraries (and their dependencies, in turn).
