I can't tell for Linux, but on FreeBSD it's as simple as:

$ auto/configure --with-ld-opt=-static
[...]
$ make -sj4
$ file objs/nginx
objs/nginx: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (FreeBSD), statically linked, for FreeBSD 9.2 (902503), not stripped
$ ldd objs/nginx
ldd: objs/nginx: not a dynamic ELF executable
