Its possible you have conf/distro/include/no-static-libs.inc included
in your build (bitbake -e would tell you).

If so, you could remove that include or set:

DISABLE_STATIC = ""

as it would currently be set to this if that include file is included:

DISABLE_STATIC = " --disable-static"

We tend not to build static libraries as they're a waste of space/time
on the most part.

Cheers,
