--disable-shared will turn off the building of shared libraries

--enable-static will turn on the building of static libraries

--disable-threads will turn off support for building multi-threaded
applications.

In my opinion, it is best if you build your libraries and applications
for the specific version of the OS you are using.  Backward
compatibility only goes so far.
