I'd tried that, but figured I was invoking it wrong, the error it yields:
<snip>
checking for --with-ld-opt="-static" ... not found
./configure: error: the invalid value in --with-ld-opt="-static"
failed to run command: ./configure --prefix=/data/local/nginx-resty-1.0.8.26/nginx \
</snip>
Reading up on the man page for ld caused me to try --with-ld-opt="-Bstatic" which gets me past configure, but gmake still yields an ELF binary that dynamically links out to libdrizzle. The final gcc linking step looked like this:

Here's the full configure line:
./configure --prefix=/data/local/nginx-resty-loko-1.0.8.26 --with-ld-opt="-Bstatic" --with-http_drizzle_module
Any ideas? Is trying to statically link a never ending struggle I should give up on early?
