I have never tried this but could you not simply compile liblouis as follows: ./configure --prefix=/where/you/want/liblouis/icluding/the/tables make LIBRARY_LDFLAGS=-static make install Doesn't that give you a static library in $PREFIX/lib? I just tried plain make, i.e. without LIBRARY_LDFLAGS=-static and it also produced a liblouis.a so either this is not a static lib or the -static is not needed.
