<para><userinput>--prefix=/static:</userinput> This is NOT a typo. GCC hard
|
|
|
codes some paths while compiling and so we need to pass /static as the
|
|
|
prefix during ./configure. We pass the real install prefix during the
|
|
|
make install command later.</para>

+<para><userinput>--with-as and --with-ld:</userinput> GCC can be

+miscompiled if your host distribution's Binutils package is quite old. We
|
|

+need a good working static GCC until we reinstall GCC later in chapter 6.
|
|
|
+So by using <filename>as</filename> and <filename>ld</filename> from the

|
+correctly.</para>

This is the equivalent to make LDFLAGS="-static" as we use with other

packages to compile them statically.</para>
