Hi,

is it possible to configure gcc 4.2.2 as
"--disable-shared" + "-fPIC for libstdc++.a, libgcc.a, ..." ?

I want to use libstdc++.a for building a shared library on Linux RH4 64-bit
in order to avoid dependencies to LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

Second question: is this advisable? I see hints that exception handling across 
boundaries of shared libraries may fail in this case.

No.

That explains the --disable-shared, but why the -fPIC?

If your linker does not support the --eh-frame-hdr option, then you need
to use a shared libgcc.  If your linker does support --eh-frame-hdr,
then throwing exceptions across shared library boundaries should work
even without a shared libgcc.  This requires that the executable and all
shared libraries are linkd using --eh-frame-hdr--it won't work with old
shared libraries.
