That's right - unless you told expat not to build the static libs it will build them by default. gcc will link to the shared libs (also built by default) unless you use the static switch. If you configured without setting a prefix and did a make install after making your command line might usually
look a little different:
gcc -g -O2 -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wstrict-prototypes -I/usr/local/include -static myprog.c -o myprog -L/usr/local/lib -lexpat
