What do you mean by "static binary"?  Is it enough for the "ssl" and
"crypto" libraries to be statically linked into the "openssl"
executable?  Or do you also want the C-library to be statically
linked?

You may need to disable support for dynamically loadable engines
(the "no-engine" option) and dynamic loading of any kind (via the
"no-dso" option) in order to get a completely static executable.
Is that what you want?

But it should have static copies of the "ssl" and "crypto" libraries.

Perhaps "engine" and/or "dso" support requires a dynamic C-library.
