Are they linked with libgcj.so?

To be pedantic for a moment, a 'static binary' does not link to any DSO,
not system libraries such as libc.so or any other. GCC does not produce
these even if configured with --disable-shared. However that option
suppresses any shared libraries that GCC would build on its own
(libgcj.so, libgcc_s.so, libstdc++.so).
Is that what you need?
