statically linked pam?

Hello,

I have been given the daunting task of putting a 3rd party pam module
into rpm format, the catch is that it needs to be statically
compiled, easy enough right? Well I looked around and the
documentation on this is rather lacking- here's what I need to do as
I understand it:

recompile the Linux-PAM package, adding my module into the modules/
directory and making sure to make my Makefile call ../register-static
or whatever the name of the script is. Is my understanding here
correct? That I cannot make it static without recompiling all of pam?

Also, Linux-PAM-0.77 fails to compile when I pass it
- --enable-static-modules - Do I need to also pass --enable-static-pam
? If I build pam statically, will I not need to recompile all of my
programs that links into Pam? 

Overall I just need to know if I am doing something blatantly stupid-
and if there is an easy way to accomplish this.
