Just to confirm the following does the static linking that I aspired to:
./configure --prefix=${HOME}/software/ffmpeg/3.0.2-x264-hevc-static 
--disable-shared --enable-pic --enable-libx264 --enable-libx265 
--enable-gpl 
--extra-ldflags="${HOME}/software/x264/master-static/lib/libx264.a 
${HOME}/software/x265/master-static/lib/libx265.a" ... more flags ...

Thanks Carl Eugen,
