--- Comment #5 from cgw at alum dot mit.edu --- Why not? Our use case is building a Python module (an .so file loaded by Python) which wraps some Fortran code. We would like to reduce the external dependencies that this module has. There have been some hard-to-track-down runtime errors resulting from libgcc.so version mismatches and we would like to remove this source of errors. We found that libgfortran.so itself depends on libgcc.so, but had hoped that by using the options `-static-libgfortran -static-libgcc' we could eliminate the runtime dependency on libgcc.so completely
