--disable-static doesn't affect the binary at all, when the package is
instructed to build dynamic linked applications and libraries, it will
do so, whether --disable-static is given or not. The reason for not
including static libraries for libraries like gnome or xfce libraries is
simple: nobody will ever use it because it's useless, and it saves a lot
of space to not build/include them.
