Are you starting from scratch or are you building on top of
http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/debian-science/packages/singular.git/ ?

Linking binaries against other libraries from other sources should usually be
dynamic (unless there is a good reason for the opposite). Linking
against libraries from the same source does not really matter.
Producing libraries gets more complicated. (And AFAIR sage actually
needs a dynamic library of singular).
