No, there is no dynamic linker on the target - your suggestion works, thanks.

I'm a bit surprised that the ld creates dynamically linked executables in the first place, since they cannot ever run at runtime (missing the dynamic loader) and there is no dynamic libraries to link against. What is the use case for that? Is there some way to stop ld from ever creating dynamically linked executables?
