Can we do this for glibc? Certainly; in a simpler compilation system
we would say -static-libgcc to gcc; I don't know what would need to be
done to glibc makefiles.
I worry about it on things like ncurses, though.
I recommend people follow the conversation in the gcc list archives.
It's heating up a bit.
