It doesn't. I should have checked that. This patch is not really needed then.

SHOBJ_STATUS is not set when the "$ac_cv_func_dlopen" = "yes" condition 
evaluates to false. This is the case when building statically. Current bash 
code is not fixes, as far as I can see.

Something like this should fix the issue:

diff -Nuar bash-4.4-orig/configure.ac bash-4.4/configure.ac
--- bash-4.4-orig/configure.ac	2016-09-07 23:56:28.000000000 +0300
+++ bash-4.4/configure.ac	2017-09-19 21:15:00.376316006 +0300
@@ -1151,6 +1151,9 @@
 	AC_SUBST(SHOBJ_LIBS)
 	AC_SUBST(SHOBJ_STATUS)
 	AC_MSG_RESULT($SHOBJ_STATUS)
+else
+	SHOBJ_STATUS=unsupported
+	AC_SUBST(SHOBJ_STATUS)
 fi
 
 # try to create a directory tree if the source is elsewhere

But bash does not autoreconf nicely, so I didn't test that approach.
