Bash Version: 2.05
Patch Level: 0
Release Status: release

Description:
        I am not able to build the static bash on my system using the
        method described in the "NOTES" file:
        
        --- NOTES ---
        On Solaris 7 (and presumably Solaris 8, though I do not run that), the
        following recipe appears to work for gcc:

        configure --enable-static-link
        make STATIC_LD='-Wl,-Bstatic' LOCAL_LIBS='-Wl,-Bdynamic -Wl,-R/etc/lib
        -ldl -Wl,-Bstatic'
        --- NOTES ---

Repeat-By:
        I did:
        
        make STATIC_LD='-Wl,-Bstatic' LOCAL_LIBS='-Wl,-Bdynamic -Wl,-R/etc/lib
        -ldl -Wl,-Bstatic'
        
        and it failed to compile the final "bash" executable.

Fix:
        I did the following by hand to build the final static "bash" executable:
        
        gcc -pg -g -O2 -o bash -Wl,-Bstatic shell.o eval.o y.tab.o general.o 
make_cmd.o print_cmd.o dispose_cmd.o execute_cmd.o variables.o copy_cmd.o 
error.o  expr.o flags.o jobs.o subst.o hashcmd.o hashlib.o mailcheck.o trap.o 
input.o unwind_prot.o pathexp.o sig.o test.o version.o  alias.o array.o 
braces.o 
bracecomp.o bashhist.o bashline.o  siglist.o list.o stringlib.o locale.o 
findcmd.o redir.o  pcomplete.o pcomplib.o syntax.o xmalloc.o -L./builtins 
-lbuiltins -L./lib/sh -lsh -L./lib/readline -lreadline -lhistory -ltermcap 
-L./lib/glob -lglob -L./lib/tilde -ltilde -L./lib/malloc -lmalloc -L/usr/lib 
-lsocket -lnsl -Wl,-Bdynamic -Wl,-R/etc/lib -ldl

        As a result "bash" and "bashbug" were built.
