Link Options (The GNU Fortran Compiler)

### 2.7 Influencing the linking step ¶

These options come into play when the compiler links object files into an executable output file. They are meaningless if the compiler is not doing a link step.

`-static-libgfortran` ¶

  On systems that provide `libgfortran` as a shared and a static library, this option forces the use of the static version. If no shared version of `libgfortran` was built when the compiler was configured, this option has no effect.

`-static-libquadmath` ¶

  On systems that provide `libquadmath` as a shared and a static library, this option forces the use of the static version. If no shared version of `libquadmath` was built when the compiler was configured, this option has no effect.

  Please note that the `libquadmath` runtime library is licensed under the GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL), and linking it statically introduces requirements when redistributing the resulting binaries.
