In https://serverfault.com/a/715193 you will find the answer, to use 
"configure --disable-shared", but this option is not available in newer 
Apache servers.

Now you have multiple "static link" options. See

# httpd-2.4.56/configure --help
[...]
  --enable-mods-static=MODULE-LIST
                         Space-separated list of static modules to 
enable |
                         "all" | "most" | "few" | "reallyall"
[...]
  --enable-so             DSO capability. This module will be 
automatically
                         enabled unless you build all modules statically.
[...]
  --enable-ssl-staticlib-deps
                         link mod_ssl with dependencies of OpenSSL's 
static
                         libraries (as indicated by "pkg-config 
--static").
                         Must be specified in addition to --enable-ssl.
[...]
  --enable-static-support Build a statically linked version of the support
                         binaries
[...]
  --enable-jansson-staticlib-deps
                         link mod_md with dependencies of libjansson's 
static
                         libraries (as indicated by "pkg-config 
--static").
                         Must be specified in addition to --enable-md.

I tried this on openSUSE Tumbleweed, but for the most libraries the 
configure scripts does not find static libraries. So the resulting 
"httpd" has a lot of dynamic dependent libraries.

./configure   --enable-mods-static=all --disable-so 
--enable-ssl-staticlib-deps

ldd targetdir/bin/httpd
linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007ffd6d7c9000)
       libssl.so.3 => /usr/lib64/libssl.so.3 (0x00007fc06e81c000)
       libcrypto.so.3 => /usr/lib64/libcrypto.so.3 (0x00007fc06e200000)
       libjansson.so.4 => /usr/lib64/libjansson.so.4 (0x00007fc06e80b000)
       libcurl.so.4 => /usr/lib64/libcurl.so.4 (0x00007fc06e75e000)
       [...]
