Influencing the linking step

These options come into play when the compiler links object files into an executable output file. They are meaningless if the compiler is not doing a link step.

-static-libgfortran

On systems that provide libgfortran as a shared and a static library, this option forces the use of the static version. If no shared version of libgfortran was built when the compiler was configured, this option has no effect.

-static-libquadmath

On systems that provide libquadmath as a shared and a static library, this option forces the use of the static version. If no shared version of libquadmath was built when the compiler was configured, this option has no effect.

Please note that the libquadmath runtime library is licensed under the GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL), and linking it statically introduces requirements when redistributing the resulting binaries.
