Before libtool conversion "make static" did not create a static binary either. It builds a version of ebtables that has libebtables.so baked in. So, as far as I can see, "make static" does the same thing it did prio to automake/libtool conversion, place all the extensions and libebtables in the "static" binary, but link libc.so dynamically.
