I'm afraid you have to be more specific. Are you speaking about g++ and its libstdc++ only? Is this on GNU/Linux only (why on earth would you want to do that there?), or maybe AIX and libstdc++.a isn't static as you may think? Are you using libtool? (You are not trying to link libstdc++.a into a shared library, are you?) I think in general using a static libstdc++ (as shipped with GCC) is rarely a good idea. IIRC there are or were some things that definitely did not work (but I may be wrong on this); and also there is definitely a huge size overhead to the resulting binary. One way to force it with g++ is to ./configure LDFLAGS=-static but that may be just a bit too broad for your... Cheers, Ralf
