I haven't read much of this thread, but I'm a bit surprised that
anyone expects --disable-shared to do other than what is documented, i.e.

gcc:
  --disable-shared        don't provide a shared libgcc
libstdc++-v3:
  --enable-shared=PKGS  build shared libraries default=yes
libjava:
  --enable-shared[=PKGS]  build shared libraries [default=yes]
libf2c:
  --enable-shared[=PKGS]  build shared libraries [default=yes]
libobjc:
  --enable-shared[=PKGS]  build shared libraries [default=no]

None of this suggests that any behavior resembling the `-static' compiler
switch is intended.
