I assume you are asking: what decides whether to link it statically or dynamically? That is controlled by the -static-libgcc and -shared-libgcc options, q.v. The g++ driver program always adds -shared-libgcc. So if you link with g++, you will normally get a shared libgcc (unless you use the -static-libgcc option, of course). > Why am I unable to get around shared linking of -lgcc? > I have tried both of the following and neither works > if I have a libgcc_s.so > > a) In 'specs', specify "-Bstatic -lgcc -Bdynamic" for > the 'libgcc:' directive. > > b) In 'specs', specify "/my/static/libgcc.a" for the > 'libgcc:' directive. That is odd. It sounds like your specs file is not being read. I'm not sure why not. Ian
