Note that static compilation is only really supported for
building the linux-user emulators, not for the system
emulators. So it's best to pass configure options to tell
it to only build the linux-user emulators, like
--disable-system --disable-tools

(1)/block/file-posix.c:1945: Error: There is an unknown field
'prealloc' in the initializer;
(2)/block/file-posix.c:1946: Error: There is an unknown field 'errp'
in the initializer.

Which compiler is this? Google provides no hits for
this error message, which suggests you're using something
weird, rather than gcc or clang.
