You need to show us more of your config.

But note:

 - PAM is for dynamic linking only, forget it w/o.
 - We do build the sun2 port with NOPIC defined (and also MKISCSI=no),
   which causes it to only build (and use) static libraries. This port
   did build for 6.1.2.

If all you are after is a fully static system, NOPIC should be the switch
to toggle. But of course there may be errors in makefiles, especially in
combination with other switches - this is not heavily tested (beyound the
sun2 build).
