Hi,
Im using GCC to compile my program and linking with Glibc statically. I
came across something called GCC Runtime Library exception while
using/linking the GCC libraries. Does Glibc also come under this exception?
Can you please help answer my question?
Regards
Jhansi

No, most of glibc is not covered by the GCC run-time library exception.
Or put differently, I do not think it is possible to statically link a
working program that falls under the exception.
Thanks,
