[Bug binutils/10380] New: cannot build binutils statically

[booleandomain at gmail dot com]

I'm trying to build binutils-2.19.1 statically. I tried with
../binutils-2.19.1/configure LDFLAGS="-static" && make but I get:

ldd binutils/ar
linux-vdso.so.1 =>  (0x00007fffaf9ff000)
libz.so.1 => /lib/libz.so.1 (0x00007fe1a223d000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x00007fe1a1ee2000)
/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007fe1a2453000)

This procedure works for all other packages I'm trying to compile (gcc, bash,
...) but it seems not to work for binutils. Why? Is there perhaps another way to
accomplish this? I also tried reading ./configure --help, README and
binutils/README but there is no useful information.
