Answer 1

I think the problem is the order of the command switches, i.e. the linker first discovers the dependencies (libgcc, libstdc++) and only then resolves them. If you give it -static-libgcc before it found the dependency then it will simply ignore it.

the following works for me:

$ g++ -m32 -march=i586 test.cpp -o test586 -static -static-libgcc -static-libstdc++
$ ./test586 
Hello world
$ ldd test586 
not a dynamic executable
