Hi Peter,
You already knew this wouldn't work, but I don't want to leave
misinformation in the mailing list archives. For the record, this idea
doesn't work. I tried a build with CC=gcc-4 and CXX='g++-4 -static
-static-libgcc', but libtool swallowed the '-static'. Now I understand
why you wrote

Ken
