Do you use glibc and static linking?

#if ENABLE_STATIC && defined(__GLIBC__)
#warning Static linking against glibc produces buggy executables
#warning (glibc doesn't cope well with ld --gc-sections).
#warning See http://sources.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3400
#warning Note that glibc is utterly unsuitable for static linking anyway.
