Running configure for static libraries is not relevant to building
this package as far as I can see as it builds
fine for me (although lots of warnings).

If there is some need for static libraries perhaps a new wish list bug
should be opened or reference at least to why static libraries are
needed?

Perhaps if you may need to recover an image generated by an old
version of partimage that is not accessibly from a new version and you
wanted to save a standalone version of the original binary?
Otherwise I don't know the point of static libraries?
