For anyone stumbling upon this (like I did), this does not actually result in the final binary being static, at least on my system (ubuntu 20.04). You can verify it by running file /var/www/bin/git (assuming your prefix is /var/www like it is in this gist) and it will print "dynamically linked".

Try adding the -static flag to CFLAGS, which tells GCC to only use static libraries, i.e. CFLAGS="${CFLAGS} -static $(pkg-config –static –libs libcurl)". It will result in a lot of errors, likely because Git has a whole bunch of dependencies which do not provide static libraries.
