I have updated the patch so that it uses DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS to set the
flag to compile the static form of gcc. The option will now be enabled
if the user specifies the option 'static' as one of the
DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS. This can be done on the command line for
dpkg-buildpackage as follows:
DEB_CROSS_NO_BIARCH=yes GCC_TARGET=armel DEB_CROSS=yes
DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS="static" dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc -rfakeroot
