Yann,

You should be able to link against the libgdal.a static library.
Try replacing -lgdal in the normal link with /path/to/libgdal.a.

Also be aware you then need to link against any libraries
GDAL requires.  Often the command "gdal-config --dep-libs"
will show you what you need at link time for this.

Best regards,
