Norman,
alink needs to use
alinkextraflags='-static-libgcc -Wl,--static'
to get the static link to build for me on gcc/RedHat9. The static-libgcc
part tells it to link against libgcc.a rather than a shared libgcc_s
(which doesn't seem to work if you are linking with --static). I don't
know how to fix the configure system to insert these flags for gcc builds
(as opposed to sun solaris compiler builds) so I'll leave that to you.
With the above fix, the system builds through to completion for the first
time for me.
