You could use -static on the link line.  If you are using dmd, just copy the 
link line it outputs to gcc and add the -static argument.

However, I don't recommend using this.  I have heard there are problems with 
statically linking against glibc, and the maintainers say they aren't going 
to fix it because nobody should be using static linking anymore...
