Hi, This came up in a User question last night and reminded me that I had a patch for it in my Q.
---- Usually g++ driver support for -static-libstdc++ is provided by "-Bstatic -lstdc++ -Bdynamic" and is currently disabled for targets without that linker support. However, actually, there is still an opportunity for those targets to implement the functionality with a spec substituation like: %{static-libstdc++:%:replace-outfile(-lstdc++ libstdc++.a%s)} However, this doesn't currently work because the g++ driver swallows "-static-libstdc++" so it's never seen by the specs. The patch below pushes -static-libstdc++ onto the output command line (for targets without -Bstatic/dynamic) so that such specs have an opportunity to fire. OK for trunk? Iain gcc/cp: * g++spec.c (lang_specific_driver): Push "-static-libstdc++" back to the output command line when the target linker does not support -Bstatic/dynamic so that it is available for spec substitions to act on. --- gcc/cp/g++spec.c | 9 +++++++++ 1 file changed, 9 insertions(+) diff --git a/gcc/cp/g++spec.c b/gcc/cp/g++spec.c index 6536d7e..48a9708 100644 --- a/gcc/cp/g++spec.c +++ b/gcc/cp/g++spec.c @@ -363,6 +363,15 @@ lang_specific_driver (struct cl_decoded_option **in_decoded_options, &new_decoded_options[j]); j++; } +#else + /* For linkers that don't support Bstatic/dynamic push the flag back + so that spec substitution can see it. */ + if (library > 1 && !static_link) + { + generate_option (OPT_static_libstdc__, NULL, 0, CL_DRIVER, + &new_decoded_options[j]); + j++; + } #endif } if (saw_math) -- 2.2.1
