I don't want all the libraries I use linked statically.  I just want the
library that I never had to think about before, and indeed, never
noticed before, linked in automatically (whether statically or not).

My pain also comes from keeping three production versions of gcc on my
alpha box for various purposes and two test versions.  In the future,
if this need for multiple versions of gcc for various reasons continues,
I don't see how I will be able to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH once and be done
with it.
