--enable-static and --disable-static override AC_ENABLE_STATIC/AC_DISABLE_STATIC. AC_DISABLE_STATIC is for use in a base project. My goal is to optimize build for the common case / make it so './configure && make && make check && make install' works as best and quickly as possible on developer workstations. For packaging to distribute inside of a cluster generally there are builders, or the defaults should still work for many deployment scenarios.
