Statically compiling gcc

["Andy Gibbs" <andyg1001@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Is it possible to compile gcc itself statically, i.e. without any library 
dependencies?  I have compiled gcc on my local machine, but it is linked 
against eglibc 2.11, but the build server we use has eglibc 2.3.6 instead so 
when copying gcc across, it doesn't run.  At this time, we don't want to 
upgrade libc on an otherwise working server.

I know it is possible to do Canadian cross-compiles, but I haven't managed 
to get this to work.  Therefore I was wondering if I can simply statically 
compile gcc instead?  Searching google and the gcc documentation just brings 
up a lot of stuff about using gcc to staticially compile other applications, 
not statically compiling gcc itself!

Cheers
Andy
