>From memory:

for binutils, use
  make configure-host ; make LDFLAGS="-all-static"
instead of
  make

for gcc, use
  make LDFLAGS="-static"
for building one-pass, or
  make BOOT_LDFLAGS="-static" bootstrap
for bootstrapping

This will just build the toolchain static, but will allow you to build 
dynamically linked executables. If you don't want/need that, you should pass 
--disable-shared to all configure scripts.

You probably don't need to build the intermediate gcc static.

I haven't checked this, just hope I remember correctly ;)
Anyone feel free to correct me.


HTH,
Arno
