Hello,
I managed to do it in an ugly way after trying the "correct" way, but
the build system is very rigid and complex.

So (works on a 64bit debian Sid, you will need to adjust paths):
1) Compile normally
2) cd tools/fstools/
3) make clean
4) make 2>&1 > log
5) egrep '^g++' log | sed -r -e 's/-o ([a-z]+).o/-o \1/' -e 's/++ /++
-static /' -e 's/-c //' -e 's;$; ../../tsk/.libs/libtsk.a
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libz.a
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpthread.a;' | tee static.sh
6) bash static.sh

Yes, this is ugly but it works :)
