Can we do this for glibc? Certainly; in a simpler compilation system we would say -static-libgcc to gcc; I don't know what would need to be done to glibc makefiles. I worry about it on things like ncurses, though. I recommend people follow the conversation in the gcc list archives. It's heating up a bit.
