Comment(by grarpamp):

 I'd think some people cross-compile, especially embeddeds.
 Only other way might be magic in Makefile for manipulation by make.
 Anyway...
 git: 3b88721d2945a24bda3b79b51be93e4b16b24cf2
 Both dynamic and static work ok (configure, make, run).

 From configure... dynamic on left, static on right:

 < checking whether the linker accepts -pie... yes
 > checking whether the linker accepts -pie... Segmentation fault (core
 dumped)
 > no

 Also, this yields a bunch of these with autoreconf -fiv, it's not present
 in 0.2.3.17 release...
