gcc47: static c++ standard library (libstdc++.a) not built

[bach@…]

Hi there,

on a freshly installed OSX 10.8.2, newly installed MacPorts, doing

sudo port install gcc47

does not automatically build the C++ standard library. I see

/opt/local/lib/libstdc++.6.dylib

but no

/opt/local/lib/libstdc++.a

and this leads to the impossibility to create statically linked binaries with g++.

How does it get built?

Best,

B.
