Static build of binutils 2.16.1

[Pierre Wieser]

Hi,

I'm trying to build (compile+static link) binutils 2.16.1 from sources. All
I get is dynamically linked executables. Obviously, I'm missing something,
but I don't understand what !

I use :
../binutils-2.16.1/configure \
	--prefix=/tmp/binutils-install \
	--host=i586-pc-linux-gnu \
	--disable-shared \
	--disable-nls &&
make LDFLAGS=-static

It seems that most of executables have a "prog_LDFLAGS = " empty line in the
Makefile, so that they do not receive the 'main' LDFLAGS I passed on to the
Makefile..

Is it normal ?
Or what is wrong with my parameters ?

Thanks in advance for your help
Regards
Pierre
