That doesn't seem to be doing what I'm after:

  $ gem unpack mongrel
  Unpacked gem: '/home/zander/projects/scratch/mongrel/mongrel-1.1.5'

  $ cd mongrel-1.1.5
  $ ruby ext/http11/extconf.rb --enable-static
  checking for main() in -lc... yes
  creating Makefile

  $ grep -i static Makefile
  LIBRUBY_A = lib$(RUBY_SO_NAME)-static.a
  LIBRUBYARG_STATIC = -l$(RUBY_SO_NAME)-static
  EXTSTATIC =
  STATIC_LIB =
  static:    $(STATIC_LIB)

I'm expecting there to be *something* present for STATIC_LIB, which I
want to give me a .a rather than a .so.  To be perfectly clear, I simply
don't know if what I'm trying to do here is actually possible, but
neither do I know where else to look.
