-static-libgfortran on {ppc,ppc64,i386,?}-apple-darwin8

[IainS <developer at sandoe-acoustics dot co dot uk>]

Hello,
The -static-libgfortran would be very helpful to us ;  however, as of  
now, it doesn't seem to be effective ... or I don't understand  
something :-)

on 4-3-branch {ppc, ppc64,i386}  - GNU F95 (GCC) version 4.3.1  
20080529 (prerelease) (powerpc-apple-darwin8), (i686-apple-darwin8)
and 4-4-trunk {ppc}        GNU Fortran (GCC) version 4.4.0 20080529  
(experimental) (powerpc-apple-darwin8)

helloif:
        /usr/lib/gcc/powerpc-apple-darwin8/4.3.1/libgfortran.3.dylib

current version 1.0.0)
        /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0,  
current version 88.1.11)

doing the same two cases with '-v' : the collect2 lines appear  
identical (although the COLLECT_GCC_OPTIONS correctly reference the  
static case) - they are listed below for reference

==== just in case one might assume this is because the "static"  
version wouldn't work on OSX - I copied libgfortran.a  to  
"libgfortran_static.a" (and ranlib'd)
