[tex-live] New binaries (and problems:)

Well, that would be one possibility, yes. Looking with -v what gcc calls
in this case, I have found out, that

  $ gcc -Wno-deprecated foo.cc  -nodefaultlibs -Wl,-Bstatic -lstdc++ -Wl,-Bdynamic -lm -lgcc_eh -lgcc -lc -lgcc_eh -lgcc 
  $ ldd a.out 
        libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x40020000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x40043000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000)

also works... That way, we'd get dynamically linked binaries which are
a lot smaller (for this a.out: 3088 kb vs. 8704 kb).

We have always tried to make it that way in the past. Is it worth the
trouble?
