Just to close the loop on this for anyone who might be encountering a similar issue or situation in the future, with the simple test example info Ryan Johnson provided me in the previous response, I was able to eventually narrow down my problem to a makefile complexity. The makefile was setting the link flag '-lstdc++' at a point in the build process AFTER it had already specified the -static-libstdc++ option, thus overriding it. I'm not exactly sure where/how it was switched to make the -lstdc++ be interpeted as dynamic, but regardless it was obviously not only redundant but overriding the earlier specified -static option.
And while I'm being 100% thorough I should probably just re-state more clearly that the other *separate* problem I had (which was resolved in an earlier post), the makefile had actually been mixing g++ for some compiles and gcc for others, but using gcc for producing the end executable, so i switched it to just make use of g++ which obviously resolved the "unrecognized option" issue I had mentioned I had been seeing before. Thanks very much for all the help, especially to Ryan. -Dennis -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
