Static linking against glibc produces buggy executables
(glibc does not cope well with ld --gc-sections).
See sources.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3400
Note that glibc is unsuitable for static linking anyway.
If you still want to do it, remove -Wl,--gc-sections
from top-level Makefile and remove this warning.
