Thanks Tim, I think linking statically is a good idea. But I have never done it yet. Do you have any ideas of how to link with a C lib statically?

You may be able to make a static linked build against a newer glibc and be able to run on a target which doesn't have that glibc installed, but I would say this is still outside the scope of gcc. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Looking for earth-friendly autos?
