I don't know this problem well, but I guess it's one of libgcc-compat
things.  Using newer gcc fixes this problem, AFAIK.  In addition,
glibc is unwilling to support static linking.  Nowadays gcc-3.3 is the
standard compiler in debian, so I think there's no problem.  If you
have no objection, I'll close this bug.
