[SunHELP] Unable to ' -static' compile programs with gcc

[Paul S Card]

There is no static executable support on sparcv9 architecture (64 bit). You
must compile as a 32 bit executable

Eg on solaris 9

devbox # gcc -m64 -static hello.c -ohello64s
ld: fatal: library -lc: not found
ld: fatal: library -lc: not found
ld: fatal: File processing errors. No output written to hello64s
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
devbox # gcc -m32 -static hello.c -ohello32s
devbox # file hello32s
hello32s:       ELF 32-bit MSB executable SPARC Version 1, statically
linked, not stripped

Would you or anyone in the list to explain what are the steps to statically
build a C program on Solaris 10? If it is only possible building a 'ealier
solaris environment', what is exactly that and how to do it?

fabio.
