I'm facing a problem trying to statically compile a simple c++ prog,
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.
Using g++ 2.95.4 (I must use this to compile a much more complex
program) this way I get the following output:
$ g++ -static tmp.cpp
/usr/bin/../lib/libc.a(syslog.o): In function `__vsyslog_chk':
(.text+0x6dd): undefined reference to `_Unwind_Resume'
Apparently your libc.a was compiled with a newer version of gcc.
AFAICT, gcc-2.95.x did not define or use _Unwind_Resume ...
Any suggestion?
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
Cheers,
