+@item -static-libgcj
+This option causes linking to be done against a static version of the
+libgcj runtime library. This option is only available if
+corresponding linker support exists.
+
+@strong{Caution:} Static linking of libgcj may cause essential parts
+of libgcj to be omitted. Some parts of libgcj use reflection to load
+classes at runtime. Since the linker does not see these references at
+link time, it can omit the referred to classes. The result is usually
+(but not always) a @code{ClassNotFoundException} being thrown at
+runtime. Caution must be used when using this option. For more
+details see:
