If you place '-static' as the last argument on the link command line, that should cause the "standard" libraries (libstdc++, etc.) to get linked in statically. Or you could specify "-nostdlib", which would keep g++ from adding the libraries automatically. You could then explicitly link to the libraries the way you want. I'm not sure if that causes any other changes to be made to the linker command line that GCC uses internally, though... Cheers, Lyle -----Original Message----- From: Stuart F. Downing [mailto:sdowning@xxxxxxxx] The reason I used the gcc driver instead of g++ was that I wanted the gcc libraries statically linked, and g++ overrode my attempts to link statically. It was a while back that I switched to the gcc driver, so my recollection of the issues is getting a bit vague. I'll retry with g++ and see if I can get it to work the way I want. Thanks, Stuart
