[patch] Add -static-libquadmath option

[Janus Weil]

Ping!

Is there any hope to get this 3-year-old patch to trunk after all? (It
seems there was at least a review of the Fortran parts, which has not
seen a reply ...)

Cheers,
Janus

So the spec was modified: when we use -static-libquadmath, the driver itself includes the -lquadmath (surrounded by the necessary static linking directives), so that libgfortran.spec shouldn’t do it again.
