I believe it is a long-standing bug, mentioned here:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-libtool/2005-10/msg00004.html
but IIRC the promised patch was never produced.

Try Ralf's suggested workaround, configuring your entire package with
CC='gcc -static-libcc' and/or CXX='g++ -static-libgcc'.

If that works, then I'll ping Ralf on fixing this bug.
