FAQ: how to build a statically-linked gcc?

[Wolcott, Ken (MED, Compuware)]

Hi Ronald;

  I tried "--disable-shared" and I also tried "--enable-static" as options to 
gcc (3.3) configure and running ldd on the resultant gcc executeable showed 
it was using local libraries, while inserting "-static" on the LD line in the 
generated Makefile resulted in ldd not being able to find any external 
linkages.  My newbie opinion is that configure is broken.
