Libtool is responsible for the behavior you describe; you can exclude

It looks like the system integrator built these libraries with --disable-shared.
Do any of /usr/lib/libg{module,thread,lib}-2.0.a exist? If so, please post the
contents of /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.la. If not, you will need copies of these
static libraries to link a static application that needs them.
Libtool currently tries to use a dynamic library when there is no static library
available, even when attempting a fully static link. I imagine this fails on
most systems. It should probably print a message and fail, instead.
