For C++

   $ cat hello.cpp
        #include <iostream>
        using namespace std;
        int main() {
         cout << "hello";
         return 0;
        }

   $ g++ hello.cpp -o hello

   $ ldd hello
        linux-gate.so.1 =>  (0xb7703000)
        libstdc++.so.6 => /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6
(0xb7607000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 (0xb7462000)
        libm.so.6 => /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libm.so.6 (0xb7435000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xb7704000)
        libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libgcc_s.so.1 (0xb7417000)

Now i am trying to produce static executable in C++
   $ g++ -static hello.cpp -o hello

   $ ldd hello
        not a dynamic executable


==================================
Now For D:
hello world D program has multiple dependencies
   $ cat hello.d
      import std.stdio;
      void main(){writefln("%s World!", "Hello");}

   $ gdc hello.d
   $ ldd a.out

        linux-gate.so.1 =>  (0xb771a000)
        libm.so.6 => /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libm.so.6 (0xb76d7000)
        librt.so.1 => /lib/i386-linux-gnu/librt.so.1 (0xb76ce000)
        libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libgcc_s.so.1 (0xb76af000)
        libpthread.so.0 => /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libpthread.so.0
(0xb7694000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 (0xb74ef000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xb771b000)

===========
Now, when i compile with -static flag to gdc then i get following
warnings
    $ gdc -static hello.d

/usr/lib/gcc/i686-linux-gnu/4.6/libgphobos2.a(path.o): In
function
`_D3std4path11expandTildeFAyaZAya18expandFromDatabaseFAyaZAya':
(.text+0x335): warning: Using 'getpwnam_r' in statically linked

/usr/lib/gcc/i686-linux-gnu/4.6/libgphobos2.a(stdio.o): In

(.text+0x3d35): warning: Using 'gethostbyname' in statically
linked applications requires at runtime the shared libraries from

There is no reason that my just dead simple hello world program
should be linked with getpwnam_r and gethostbyname
========
in the same way, dmd compiler produced executable also is
dynamically linked  only.
Now, my question is that, whether like C/C++ i can actually get a
helloworld (that no complex dependencies) program FULLY
statically linked in D.
