Is there a way to build a compiler without the binaries when run not
having to link with the dynamic linker? I wish to compile a new glibc and
don't want the compiler I build it with to be dependant on it. Would
the -static linker switch be what I'm looking for?

Yes: if you link with -static, then the dynamic linker will not be
required at runtime. While glibc frowns on static linking, it should
work for a program like gcc.
