Adding zlib as a static part of a shared library is not supported without editing the Makefile after executing ./configure (with --static), which could be a nice feature.

For gcc i've used this workaround that doesn't require editing the Makefile.

The work around for this is to set your base CFLAGS:

CFLAGS=-fPIC ./configure

You can add --static for just generating the static build. This request is pretty old but hopefully its still of use to someone.
