It is difficult to tell without a small self-contained testcase but...

This should not be necessary (and I'm surprised gcc doesn't complain).

which file contains the main program? is there an .o file for it? does it 
appear in the command-line if you compile manually?

-static is a linker option not a compile option. It should appear in the linker 
command-line.

Why not try first with? This compiles and links in one step.

gfortran -fimplicit-none -fbounds-check -m64 -funroll-loops -ftree-vectorize 
-O2  -fopenmp -static -static-libgfortran -o solver.64.static  *.f90 *.mod 
Linpack.a

If you use other libraries, you need to have their .a files and gfortran needs 
to be able to find them.

Good luck!
