Yes, see the -static-libgcc option. Be aware that this is asking for 
trouble if you ever want to throw exceptions across shared libraries, 
because there could be different incompatible versions of the EH runtime 
linked in. But, IIRC, mozilla does not use exceptions anyway so that may 
not be an issue.
