Re: Static linked cross tools

I'm currently  building a statically linked cross compiler using the patch 
attached. It may not be coded according to the high standards of crosstools, 
but it works if you call crosstool.sh with 
BINUTILS_MAKE_OPTIONS="LDFLAGS=-all-static"   and
GCC_MAKE_OPTIONS="LDFLAGS=-static"
BTW, Linux From Scratch (http://www.linuxfromscratch.org) has detailed 
descriptions covering building static binutils (Chapter 5,  Binutils-2.14 - 
Pass 1).

With kind regards
