Poking around online for a few tips, I tried a few things, but I
cannot get it to build.
First I installed static versions of these packages:
# rpm -qa | grep static
ncurses-static-5.9-13.20130511.el7.x86_64
glibc-static-2.17-105.el7.x86_64
zlib-static-1.2.7-15.el7.x86_64
#
Then I added your lines to LDFLAGS.extra in the top-level build directory:
# cat LDFLAGS.extra
-static -static-libgcc
#
And for the embedded gdb, configured it with --enable-static=yes:
# git diff
diff --git a/Makefile b/Makefile
index d5d9497..29cf134 100644
--- a/Makefile
+++ b/Makefile
@@ -232,7 +232,7 @@ gdb_merge: force
@echo "../../${PROGRAM} ../../${PROGRAM}lib.a" > ${GDB}/gdb/mergeobj
@rm -f ${PROGRAM}
@if [ ! -f ${GDB}/config.status ]; then \
- (cd ${GDB}; ./configure ${GDB_CONF_FLAGS} --with-separate-debug-dir=/usr/lib/debug \

make --no-print-directory CRASH_TARGET=${TARGET}; echo ${TARGET} > crash.target) \
else make --no-print-directory rebuild; fi
#
And then did a "make".
I also see the warnings, but also hundreds of unresolved references
associated with libncurses.a. So I don't know what else to suggest.
Maybe somebody else on this list may have attempted it?
