+'--with-nonshared-cflags=CFLAGS'
+ Use additional compiler flags CFLAGS to build the parts of the
+ library which are always statically linked into applications and
+ libraries even with shared linking (that is, the object files
+ contained in 'lib*_nonshared.a' libraries). The build process will
+ automatically use the appropriate flags, but this option can be

+ '--with-nonshared-cflags=-Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2' will make sure
+ that the objects in 'libc_nonshared.a' are compiled with this flag
+ (although this will not affect the generated code in this
+ particular case and potentially change debugging information and

Don't build shared libraries even if it is possible. Not all
systems support shared libraries; you need ELF support and
