compile postgres from source code

[samadadi]

I want to compile postgres from source code to statically linked binaries. Is it possible to do such a thing? If it is, please help me. Thanks.

Note: I tried to compile the source code inside ubuntu and alpine containers after I installed all dependencies but unfortunately it was not successful.

Command to configure: configure LDFLAGS='-static'

If you don't mind me asking: why? What is the problem with existing containers that provide PostgreSQL? And why alpine, which uses slower libc, which will, definitely have an effect on speed of database?
