I am not getting full static files even when I configure with --disable-shared

A) This most often happens when using GNU LD. If both shared and static versions of a library exist then GNU LD will take the shared library as preferred. The root of this problem is libtool. You can, however, force complete static images by adding a definition to your "make" line:

   make "LDFLAGS=-Wl,-static"
