static linking error

Running "$(CROSS_COMPILE)gcc test.c -s" I get a small binary file that's 
identical to the one generated if I don't statically link the executable.

I'm trying to create a stand alone executable that I can download to the 
target system via a jtag interface and have it run.  But maybe I'm 
taking the wrong approach.

If I edit my LDFLAGS line to "LDFLAGS    = -static", removing the 
"-nostdlib -L${TARGET_PREFIX}/lib" stuff, I get the following errors:
