OK. Looking at:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2252567?threadID=2252567
It seems static linking is not supported on MacOS-X. Sigh...
And for the specific issue at hand, as Titus pointed out:
http://lists.apple.com/archives/unix-porting/2006/Aug/msg00012.html
we have a static version libtsdc++-static that we can link against.

The idea is to be able to move the toolchain from one host to another
without too much hassles...
While the C library is pretty standard and backward-compatible, the
libstdc++ is very tightly coupled to the compiler.
But if you do not need that, then you can disable this option.
