How to do static builds of tor:
Libevent should be built with:
% ./configure --disable-shared --enable-static --with-pic
Tor supports linking each of the libraries it needs statically. Use the
--enable-static-X ./configure option in conjunction with the --with-X-dir
option for libevent, zlib, and openssl. For this to work sanely, libevent
should be built with --disable-shared --enable-static --with-pic, and
OpenSSL should be built with no-shared no-dso.
An example of how to build a mostly static Tor:
If you need to build tor so that system libraries are also statically linked,
use the --enable-static-tor ./configure option. This won't work on OS X
unless you build the required crt0.o yourself. It is also incompatible with
the --enable-gcc-hardening option.

This currently does not work with --enable-gcc-hardening because of libevent issues:

This produces the following Tor binaries on Gnu/Linux x86-64:
