Yeah, you should have said:
cc -c -static -o foo.o foo.c
cc -static -o foo foo.o
if you do a cc -s -static foo.c and a cc -s foo.c you can see that there is a lot of extra information in the dynamic version.

But that just gives:
/usr/bin/ld: can't locate file for: -lcrt0.o

I don't think you can build statically linked binaries on Darwin, because there are no static libraries to link with. You have to build those first.
