RE: [Mingw-users] Can I statically link to libstdc++.dll?

With the latest MingW snapshot, when I compile the standard helo World with
iostream:
g++ -o hello.exe -Os -s -fno-exceptions -fno-rtti hello.cpp
I get
12/04/01  10:34                  3,584 hello.exe
which is pretty good sizewise (amazing how much of a difference a dynamic
libc++ makes !)
but when I do:
E:\C++>g++ -o hello.exe -Os -s -fno-exceptions -fno-rtti hello.cpp -static
I get:

Warning: resolving _cout by linking to __imp__cout (auto-import)
fu000001.o(.idata$3+0xc): undefined reference to `libstdc___a_iname'
nmth000000.o(.idata$4+0x0): undefined reference to `_nm__cout'

And there is no executable.

Am I doing something wrong ?
