In http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/R-admin.html I did find:

9.1 Unix

If R has not already be made in the directory tree, configure must tbe run as described in the main build instructions.

Then

     make

will make standalone libraries libRmath.a and libRmath.so. `make static' and make shared will create just one of them. 

however...

make: don't know how to make static. Stop

and "static" is not really part of the
Makefile or any Make fragments.  So back
to starting... is there anyway to make it
static?
