On GNU/Linux, it is. You can link with the -static-libgcc and -static-libstdc++ options (the latter is new in gcc 4.5) and everything should work. I'm not aware of any non-GNU/Linux systems for which this will work reliably. It requires a linker which support --eh-frame-hdr and a libc which supports dl_iterate_phdr.
