-static should go to the end of the command line, or somewhere where it
does not mess up the argument to your -o switch, but that is not the
problem.
From what we have seen, it looks like you have some mysteriously
misconfigured system - SCO Unix - right? Don't know about you, but I
really hate to be on a misconfigured system without root access and
authorization to reconfigure it the way I like. Anyway, I remember the
last time we stopped at the point where we needed to run cc with an
verbose argument to the linker. I've never gotten that advanced on SCO,
so you will need to figure out the following:
- How do you make cc pass an argument to the linker?
- How do you tell the linker (ld) to be verbose?
man cc
man ld
Should give you the answer.
