That doesn't seem possible. The benefits of static linking are that unused methods, symbols, etc... can be stripped as well as cross-library optimizations like in-lining. There's not necessarily going to be library lines left at all, at least not in any way that looks anything like upstream. And it's also going to vary from binary to binary, depending on what exactly they used from the dependency. What you're describing would be more akin to shared linkage just in a single blob. That seems like it'd be a worst-of-both-worlds result.
