It still would normally be possible to build a static-linked binary if
you wanted one, though. But I think I recall seeing something about
this being a problem on Solaris because some of the gcc libs aren't
built for static linkage. Regardless, you should be able to put the
needed libs somewhere where you have write permission and set
LD_LIBRARY_PATH appropriately to find them.
