Unless your target is an embedded system, statically linking it
makes it significantly *less* portable (basically it will work only
on the system on which it was compiled).

Usually people want static linking due to mistaken belief that
static executables are more portable.

Apparently your libc.a was compiled with a newer version of gcc.
AFAICT, gcc-2.95.x did not define or use _Unwind_Resume ...

Abandon the goal (which is likely mis-guided to begin with), or
try to link on an older glibc compilation.

FWIW, I can link with "/usr/local/gcc-2.95.3/bin/g++ -static ..."
on RedHat 6.2 with glibc-2.1.3-15
