Bug#730654: gfortran-4.7 -static and libquadmath

[Paul Kerry <p.kerry@sheffield.ac.uk>]

Package: gfortran-4.7
Version: 4.7.2-5
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

Occasionally we need to compile some fortran programs using the -static option
to gfortran-4.7 so that we can use the resulting executable on a linux
webserver that is out of our control.

Running the following command...
gfortran -static filename.f -o output

does not include libquadmath.so.0 into the output executable so it will not
work on the webserver.

For info, doing the same under Debian Squeeze works perfectly.

Many thanks
Paul.
