It would have been helpful if you had mentioned this right away. Anyway, in this case the thing to use is --tag=disable-static, as mentioned above, as argument to 'libtool' early in the command line, before the --mode argument. Ordering with respect to other tag arguments like --tag=CXX (which you should use BTW) is irrelevant. Please note that, if you are using an installed libtool script, you are to some extent at the mercy of how it was configured: if it was configured with --disable-shared, then you will only get static libraries out of it, no matter what options you pass. If it was configured to use a different compiler (in which case omitting --tag=CXX will be important for you to use), then linking will happen with that different compiler. Just FYI. Hope that helps.
