 Hello,
 
 gcc 3.0.3 is quite old. Would it be possible for you to determine  
 whether this problem still occurs on a more current version of gcc (ie  
 3.2.3)? Thanks,
 
 Dara

gcc version 3.0.3 (Mandrake Linux 8.2 3.0.3-1mdk)
>Description:
It is not possible to mix static and dynamic linking
with gcc-3.0.2 or gcc-3.0.3.

Included are some pasted sample targets. Some are obviously
not correct.

I also note that unless you do it incorrectly the library
is (incorrectly) specified in the static and dynamic sections.

F.E. g++-3.0.3 -v vec.cpp -o vec -Wl,-Bstatic -lstdc++ -Wl,-Bdynamic
will place -lstdc++ in the static and dynamic section.

To get this library only listed in the static section you must
use an incorrect format:

g++-3.0.3 -v vec.cpp -o vec -Wl,-Bstatic,-lstdc++ -Wl,-Bdynamic

In any case, even though the library is only in the static
section it still will not link statically.

>How-To-Repeat:
None of the following make targets work:

vec: vec.o Makefile
    ld -o vec vec.o /usr/lib/crt1.o /usr/lib/crti.o \
    /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i586-mandrake-linux-gnu/${GCCVER}/crtbegin.o \
    -L/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i586-mandrake-linux-gnu/${GCCVER} \
    -lm -lgcc_s -lc -lgcc -lstdc++ \
    /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i586-mandrake-linux-gnu/${GCCVER}/crtend.o \
    /usr/lib/crtn.o

vec2: vec.o
    ld -o vec2 vec.o /usr/lib/crt1.o /usr/lib/crti.o \
    /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i586-mandrake-linux-gnu/${GCCVER}/crtbegin.o \
    -L/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i586-mandrake-linux-gnu/${GCCVER} \
    -Bstatic -lstdc++ \
    -Bdynamic -lm -lgcc_s -lc -lgcc \
    /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i586-mandrake-linux-gnu/${GCCVER}/crtend.o \
    /usr/lib/crtn.o

vec3: vec.cpp Makefile
    ${CPP} -v vec.cpp \
    /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i586-mandrake-linux-gnu/${GCCVER}/libstdc++.a \
    -L/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i586-mandrake-linux-gnu/${GCCVER} \
    -lm -lgcc_s -lc -lgcc \
    -o vec3

vec4: vec.cpp Makefile
    ${CPP} -v vec.cpp -o vec4 -Wl,-Bstatic -lstdc++ -lm -Wl,-Bdynamic

vec5: vec.cpp Makefile
    ${CPP} -v vec.cpp -o vec5 -Wl,-static,-lstdc++,-lm

vec6: vec.cpp Makefile
    ${CPP} -v vec.cpp -o vec6 -static

vec7: vec.cpp Makefile
    ${CPP} -v vec.cpp -o vec7 -static -lstdc++ -lm -Wl,-Bdynamic
>Fix:
If some libraries must be linked statically (as is my case)
there is no option but to use "gcc -static" to statically
link the entire executable.
