How can I link the binutils using the static 'libc.a' instead of the dynamic 'libc.so'?

Hi Martin,

> How can I instruct 'configure' to do this?  Is it even possible?

No!  I was surprised to find this out, but it seems that the configure
and build system really does not want you to link with a static C library.

You can do it by hand of course, but that does not make for a reproducible build.
You can edit the makefiles too, but again this is not reliable in the long term.

Sorry - it looks like there is no easy solution to this problem.

Cheers
