cc -static pulling in some stupid amount of stuff

[Geoff Wing <gcw%pobox.com@localhost>]

Heyla,
on my -current x86 system:
% echo 'main(){}' > foo.c
% cc -o bar foo.c
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
   1525     272      36    1833     729 bar
% cc -static -o bar foo.c
% size bar
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
 326757    7284   33108  367149   59a2d bar
% nm bar
....
lots of libc stuff
....
%

Why did half of libc get included?

Regards,
Geoff
