ls /{lib,usr/lib}/libposix4.a
Chances are you only have the shared library installed, while -static 
requires the current ar archive.

Apparently you don't have the openssl libraries installed. It's required 
by nmap unless you explicitly tell it to compile without it 
(--without-openssl should work nicely as ./configure directive for it). 
Seems a bit weird that you got that far without errors though. It 
suggests you have the header files but not the libraries.

Btw, this supports the idea about only the shared libposix4 being 
installed. Do you have libposix4.a anywhere on your system?
