Objective-C is dynamic by definition and by implementation so, no, it's 
impossible link a static Obj-C binary.

For C++, you have to avoid any of the dynamic features, making it 
essentially C with syntactic sugar.

Since you already have a C version and Obj-C is a superset of C and 
there is no border line between them, why don't you use C with "Obj" 
for the OS part and stay with C without "Obj" for the OF part? 
Different build rules for both targets but no need to duplicate code.
