On GNU/Linux, it is.  You can link with the -static-libgcc and
-static-libstdc++ options (the latter is new in gcc 4.5) and everything
should work.  I'm not aware of any non-GNU/Linux systems for which this
will work reliably.  It requires a linker which support --eh-frame-hdr
and a libc which supports dl_iterate_phdr.  A few more notes at
