Linking Question -- Static vs. Dynamic

["Fulgham, Brent/SCO" <BFulgham@CH2M.com>]

Can one of you gurus tell me how to instruct gcc to STATICALLY link one
particular library, while dynamically linking to all the others?

I wish to link an application with the static libstdc++.a archive, while
allowing all other Linux libraries to be linked dynamically.  My
understanding is that ld will search through the library directories and
preferentially link with shared libraries over static.  Since I have
both a static and dynamic version of libstdc++, how do I force ld to
choose the static archive?  I have already tried putting the archive
name into the object list of the makefile, which didn't seem to work.

Help!

Thanks,

-Brent
