when ./configure is run with --disable-shared, is there a way to

You can just use pkg-config --static all the time, unless
( disable_static && ( host_os == Linux || host_os == Solaris ) )
Works wonders! :-)
Once Libtool has been fixed to allow specifying separate dependencies
for static and shared libs (it might have a special API for pkg-config
at that point), this can be revisited.
It seems that LT_INIT has been executed, the shell environment
variables enable_shared and enable_static are set to 'yes' if shared
and/or static libraries will be built. You can test these environment
variables to determine the parameter to pass to pkg-config.
but this cannot be done using the pkg-config autoconf macro, can it?
This is a question you might need to ask on the pkg-config list.
