Yeah I know some people think it's a perverted thing to do..but I was
hoping others on the list had done it before with boost.build.

The problem is if any shared libstdc++ is on your path then it will
pick it up and ignore -static-libgcc, which is explained here :

Before I throw my self into figuring out a hack, I want to make sure I
do not overlook the obvious. has anybody done this before with
boost.build ?

Thanks.
