Statically linked rustc?

Hey,

How does it possible to build rustc which is staticlly linked against both librustc_driver and libstd?

The compiler as released is already linked to libstd (I'm not familiar with librustc_driver).

@jhpratt it is linked dynamically :wink:

as you may see rustc is dynamically linked agains both librustc_driver and libstd.

So, here I'm: how can I build rustc which is statically linked agains both librustc_driver and libstd.
