You're trying to build the -softmmu targets with --static here too
(which means we try to compile a bunch of things that were never intended
to be run as static executables that way).
You're probably better off doing two separate configure and build
runs, one with just the -linux-user targets and --static, and the other
with just the -softmmu targets (and no --static).

Having said that, building arm-softmmu with --static works for me:
which version of QEMU are you trying to build? (we might have fixed
this in the 1.0 release candidate, so that's worth testing.)
