Static build on Linux (Ubuntu) fails with "undefined reference to `qt_plugin_instance_qsqlite()'"

On Linux (Ubuntu 10.04) with both 4.6.3 and 4.7.0 the static build crashes:

Here is the configure command:

./configure -static -release -prefix /usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4.7.0-static -opensource -platform linux-g++ -no-exceptions -nomake examples -nomake demos -no-phonon -no-multimedia -no-javascript-jit -no-xmlpatterns -no-qt3support -no-svg -no-webkit -no-scripttools -no-accessibility -no-audio-backend -no-phonon-backend

Including -system-sqlite makes no difference.
