I know nothing about OpenJPEG build configuration, but GDAL uses CMake's native
BUILD_SHARED_LIBS to control the shared/static library build

In theory, BUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON could/should cascade to all dependencies
- you want static GDAL, good, we will assume you link it against
static OpenJPEG, etc.

However, I remember, I had to modify the old NMAKE makefile to make
GDAL link against
static curl and a few others I did build as static libraries, e.g.
forcing those deps as static-s
and adding list of dependencies of those dependencies, etc.
So, I'd say hacking build config for uncommon builds nothing buggy or
unexpected.

Best regards.
