On Linux, how do I get DMD to statically link against the necessary

libs like libc?
Someone suggested trying -L-static, but that just gives me this:
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lgcc_s
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

You're stuck, linking manually with gcc, which means copying all of the
appropriate linker flags from dmd.conf. It also means that you don't get
symbols in your stack traces for some reason (I've never been able to
figure
out why). It does work though. Still, I'd love it if this bug could be
fixed.
I hate dynamically linking anything if I can help it.
It's a bad idea to statically link libc. This is from the glibc
maintainer:

I don't think static linking is officially supported any more.
