Answer 1

I solved the problem this way: changed my PATH in ~/.bash_profile to export PATH="/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin:$PATH", opened a new terminal and ran the installation process again. The libtool in /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin did not complain about the -static flag and everything worked well. You can later remove /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin from your $PATH.
