Have you tried setting LD_FLAGS before running configure? I'd keep
the --with-zlib option as well. For example

LD_FLAGS=-L`pwd`/zlib
export LD_FLAGS
./configure ...

I have a vague memory that enable-static is to do with building static
libraries rathern than a static binary. ldd on a static binary should show
the message 'not a dynamic executable' or something like that. I've used a
slightly different configure line to do that. On my machine I had trouble
with the built os provided openssl so had to build my own.

./configure --prefix=/someplace --with-neon=`pwd/neon --with-ssl --disable-shared --enable-all-static --with-openssl=`pwd`/openssl

oh, and on a 64bit machine (or it might be unique to opensuse) I've found I
had to add -fPIC to the CFLAGS options before running configure.

CFLAGS=-fPIC
export CFLAGS
