See <http://www.faqs.org/faqs/Solaris2/FAQ/>, #6.24. In a nutshell,
you might try

./configure --enable-static-linking

If your autoconf isn't smart enough to cause the dl lib to be linked
dynamically (any app that uses gethostbyXXX cannot be purely static)
you might try

./configure # will enable dynamic linking

and then

make STATIC_LD= LOCAL_LIBS='-Wl,-B,dynamic -Wl,-R/etc/lib -ldl -Wl,-B,static'

which tells ld to to link with options "-Bdynamic -R/etc/lib -ldl -Bstatic,"
i.e., link everything except dl statically.

Another option would be to only link the SSL libraries (ssl, crypto) statically.
That might be something like

make STATIC_LD= LOCAL_LIBS='-Wl,-B,static -lssl -lcrypto -Wl,-B,dynamic -Wl,-R/etc/lib"

All this assumes you built ssl and crypto statically (i.e. you have
libcrypto.a and libssl.a).

Keep in mind static linking breaks the ABI so you may need to compile on the same
OS level and hardware as the system on which you run nrpe.
