I'm statically compiling with the SDL Debian package using:
  LIBS="-Wl,-Bstatic \
    -lSDL \
    -lvga -ldirectfb -ldirect -lfusion \
    -lcaca -lcucul -laa -lslang -lcurses \
    -laudio -lesd -lartsc -lasound -lgpm \
    -lm \
    -Wl,-Bdynamic -lX11 -ldl -lpthread -lstdc++"

I could not statically compile the last libraries (X11, dl, etc.), I
had to left them as dynamic.  You may need less libraries if you're
using your own SDL (with fewer backends enabled).

I think --static-libs should include that, alas this is not the case.
