Hello,
I managed to compile gcc 4.1.0 as a cross-compiler for
alphaev56-unknown-linux-gnu and I am using it for quite some time
now.The binaries that this compiler produces are fed to a simulator,
which currently accepts only statically linked binaries. As a result, I
am always passing the -static flag during linking. However, the number
of Makefiles has grown quite a bit and adding this flag to all the
places where it is required is becoming more difficult.
Therefore, I am trying to find a way to automatically force gcc to
include this option during linking. I searched quite a bit and I think
that this can be achieved through a specs file. I used gcc -dumpspecs to
see the default settings, but I am not sure what additions I have to
make and where exactly in the file.
Apart from using a specs file, is there another way to do this, maybe
while configuring gcc before building it? I noticed that there is a
--disable-shared configuration option, but I am not certain if it does
what I want.
Hope that somebody can help!
Ioannis
