title: Compile a Standalone Static Executable
body: <p>I'm trying to compile an executable (ELF file) that does not use a dynamic loader.  I built a cross compiler that compiles mips from linux to be used on a simulator I made.  I asserted the flag -static-libgcc on compilation of my hello.cpp file (hello world program).  Apparently this is not enough though.  Because there is still a segment in my executable which contains the name/path of the dynamic loader.  What flags do I use to generate an executable which contains EVERYTHING needed to be run?  Do I need to rebuild my cross compiler?</p>
