Hi,
Is it possible to compile gcc itself statically, i.e. without any library
dependencies? I have compiled gcc on my local machine, but it is linked
against eglibc 2.11, but the build server we use has eglibc 2.3.6 instead so
when copying gcc across, it doesn't run. At this time, we don't want to
upgrade libc on an otherwise working server.
I know it is possible to do Canadian cross-compiles, but I haven't managed
to get this to work. Therefore I was wondering if I can simply statically
compile gcc instead? Searching google and the gcc documentation just brings
up a lot of stuff about using gcc to staticially compile other applications,
not statically compiling gcc itself!
Cheers
Andy

It would probably work if you build gcc with
make BOOT_LDFLAGS=-static
I haven't tried it, though.
