No, this will not work.

$ make showconfig | grep STATIC
     STATIC=off: Build static executable/libraries

$ make -V LDFLAGS
 -L/usr/local/lib -rpath=/usr/lib:/usr/local/lib


$ make -V LDFLAGS WITH_STATIC=true
 -L/usr/local/lib -rpath=/usr/lib:/usr/local/lib

Expected result:
 -L/usr/local/lib -rpath=/usr/lib:/usr/local/lib -static


Seems we will see more such issues with slave ports since they cannot overwrite the optionsfile (maybe a fake target in the slave with make rmconfig can be a solution ;)

For me this is a regression which was already discussed on this list ( optionsng and tinderbox? )

I also ask with a simple example and got no answers ( options NG and slave/sub ports )
