[tex-live] New binaries (and problems:)

[Karl Berry]

    --disable-shared might be a solution, however, not for compiling TL,
    but for compiling gcc.

I don't understand?  Even when libstdc++.so is created in a gcc
installation (as it is by default), so is libstdc++.a.  So it is
possible to link only libstdc++ statically by putting in the necessary
options (-Wl,-static -lstdc++, something like that).  May have to mess
with the gcc specs file even, I'm not sure.
