I cannot use images built on my machine, as it has later
versions of the shared libs on it, and at program load time
I get reports of missing shared objects. Surely there is a way to
build my programs so that they do not depend on the SOs in
this manner. I've read the man page for ld and for gcc, yet
haven't managed to figure this out. I thought that using
gcc -o hellostatic hello.c -Wl,-static might do the job, but
this fails with
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lgcc_s
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
Somebody please explain to me how to build an image on my machine
which will run on another distro.
More experimentation shows that this may have done it...
$ gcc -Wl,-M -o hellostatic hello.c -static 2>&1 | less
$ ls -l hello*
-rwxrwxr-x 1 jmccarty jmccarty 4716 Oct 17 2005 hello
-rw-rw-r-- 1 jmccarty jmccarty 109 Jul 11 2005 hello.c
-rwxrwxr-x 1 jmccarty jmccarty 126458 Jul 11 2005 hello.exe
-rwxrwxr-x 1 jmccarty jmccarty 390403 Jun 5 08:07 hellostatic
I tried several other things, but this is the one which made
the executable actually grow. Brief perusal of the map seems
to indicate that the libs got included into the image.

You have found the bank of Larn.
I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
