configureQ: is -enable-static & -disable-shared supported?

[L Walsh]

Might be something in my (SuSE) gcc/ld setup, but trying to build static 
and disabled shared
doesn't give an error  -- it just builds shared.  Is this expected (i.e. 
static
not really supported?)

tnx

input to config:

unset LDFLAGS
unset CFLAGS
export PKG_USER=root
export PKG_GROUP=root

configure  -disable-shared --disable-gettext --enable-readline 
--enable-termcap --enable-static
