There is a related bug tracked at Gentoo: https://bugs.gentoo.org/762017

After a quick look it seems that the lvm.static target, for instance, misses -lrt and -lcap, but I have not investigated further.

Upsteam 2.03. main HEAD has been updated to handle things better.

Although it should be generally noted - lvm2 does not test or actively develop for static building - lot of distros do not provide corresponding static libraries - and with systemd-udevd it's actually even questinably how that could even work (in this case you probably need to build lvm2 without udev)

Anyway some problems have been fixed - so if you find new problem - open new issue please
