Perhaps you can just ship a bunch of object files and do the
final linking only as a part of your installation process. Of course,
since the C++ ABI changed with GCC 3.x, you might want to bundle
the C++ libraries, but leave out everything else. It would also
mean that end-users have to have binutils, and perhaps make, installed
on their machines as a pre-requisite.
