That's because '-static' is actually a GCC flag (that is also passed on
to the linker). The link command GCC constructs is different when it sees
'-static'.

When you use '-Wl,-static', you are going "behind GCC's back", and changing
what GCC thinks is a dynamic link into a fully static one. Don't do that.
