I have been using nhc98 on my systems for a while and I've noticed a couple of things that would fit quite nicely in the nhc98 script. The first is the ability to pass a -static to the linker to create statically linked executables. This is helpful in a number of situations, mainly on my web server which I run chroot'ed and so it doesn't have access to as many libraries. The other is the ability to specify the -rpath, the runtime linker path. For this, I used the standard C syntax, i.e. -Wl,foo will pass foo to the linker. The inclusion of this syntax will allow for many other linker options to be passed in as well. Please consider the attached patch.
