Yeah, his problem was really odd... by looking at his makefile,
some variables weren't getting substituted!  (bug in make?!  Makefiles
are such a PITA to debug!)

He had:

        parted_LDFLAGS=-all-static

And the link line was something like:

        $(LINK) $(parted_LDFLAGS) ...

But -all-static didn't appear on the invoked command (that make displayed).
So, it doesn't look like it's a gcc issue.

Anyway: I've uploaded an initrd for you in ftp.gnu.org/gnu/parted/devel
for you to test.

Thanks,
Andrew
