Now libpq doesn't often have critical security bugs filed against it, but it certainly has bugs. Do you really want to have to remember to rebuild every piece of dependent software when you update it? The OP's case apparently involves multiple independent libraries that he wants to link statically, which makes the problem multiple times worse. So my position is that static linking has enough negatives that you need a lot more than a hypothetical use-case to justify it.
