--- Comment #9 from Amir Shahmoradi <a.shahmoradi at gmail dot com> ---
This is an old thread, but the problem does not seem to have been resolved yet,
at least as of GFortran 8.3. I agree with cgw@alum.mit.edu on this matter. This
looks more like a bug in the design. The user should not need to rebuild an
entire GNU Compiler Collection just for the sake of being able to use a
compiler flag "-static-libgfortran". The lack of this feature practically makes
the GFortran compiler useless in building shared libraries, as it will always
have dependencies that most high-level-language users will not have installed
on their systems. Requesting them to be able to install the dependencies
correctly is too much, IMO.
I would appreciate it very much if this build flaw in GFortran gets fixed by
also adding positions-independent library builds.
