With libtool all you have to do to have it generate only static libraries is
to specify

libblah_blah_la_LDFLAGS = -static

in the Makefile.am.  This is what the patch does... You then want to replace all the 
link-time references (blah_LDADD = ../libblah/blah.a) with (blah_LDADD = 
../libblah/blah.la).
