Binutils doesn't know where the dynamic linker is. GCC tells it, but
only if you tell GCC that you're using dynamic linking by not
specifying -static. This isn't the only change - you'll get different
startfiles, for instance, and you may get a different selection of
-lgcc_s/-lgcc/-lgcc_eh.
What are you trying to accomplish by lying to GCC about your link?
