You can try something like
 
  ./configure CPPFLAGS="-DNDEBUG -I../../libfileIO-0.2.3/src" CXXFLAGS="-O3" 
LDFLAGS="-static-libgcc -L../../libfileIO-0.2.3/src" --disable-shared
  make LDFLAGS="-static-libgcc -L../../libfileIO-0.2.3/src -all-static"

(one problem is that the link tests in configure don't use libtool to
link, thus you can't use -all-static there).

Because to libtool, -static means to link uninstalled libtool libs
statically, not all libs.

Probably because there are no libcblas.la and libblas.la files
installed.

Hope that helps.
