As I suggest in the other thread you probably shouldn't ever do it. In 
the same way you shouldn't (and can't) statically link to kernel32 on 
windows.

I forget exactly, but you could try this, don't put any extra -L or 
anything, like you appear to have above.

-static  -static-libgcc

it's possible perhaps that you don't have the static libgcc installed on 
your system, seems a bit unlikely, though.
