Indeed, except that Andre wants also to force static linking to a library. But 
now I recall that Andre wants to link to libsup++, just like you, and... that 
library does not come with shared variant.

So, Andre, it seems your use case would work if the <linkflags> were added to 
the end of the linker's command line, not to the front? Could you try moving 
the occurence of OPTIONS in gcc.link and gcc.link.dll to the end?

Ah, and in that case it will even work if you write

<linkflags>"-Wl,-Bstatic -lsupc++".
