[I thought about whether to reply to this ... I want to mention one data
point, and that's all I will write].

I did link statically.
[chastain@delta chastain]$ cat bar.c
main ()
{
write (1, "Howdy.\n", 7);
}
[chastain@delta chastain]$ gcc --version
2.9-gnupro-99r1
[chastain@delta chastain]$ gcc bar.c -o bar -g -static
[chastain@delta chastain]$ gdb bar

(gdb) break main
Breakpoint 1 at 0x101fc: file bar.c, line 3.
(gdb) run
Starting program: /home/chastain/bar
Breakpoint 1, main () at bar.c:3
3 write (1, "Howdy.\n", 7);
(gdb) write (1, "bye", 3);
Undefined command: "write". Try "help".
(gdb) call write (1, "bye", 3)
bye$1 = 3
(gdb) p malloc
$2 = {<text variable, no debug info>} 0x140ac <malloc>
So malloc does get pulled in on my Solaris configuration.
