Compiler Option: -static

Prefer static libraries over dynamic ones when linking

Syntax
		-static

Description
	When creating an executable or a shared library/DLL, the -static 
	compiler option can be used to tell the compiler to prefer linking 
	against static libraries rather than shared libraries/DLLs. That way, if 
	the linker finds both static and shared versions of a library, it will 
	use the static version, rather than defaulting to the shared version.

	Installing the proper static libraries and then using -static can be 
	used to avoid some or all dependencies on shared libraries.

Platform Differences
	* On Linux & co it is possible to create purely statically linked 
	  executables, because static versions of the system libraries used by 
	  FreeBASIC are available.
	* On Windows, there are no static versions of the system libraries, but 
	  -static can still be useful to decide between static library or DLL 
	  versions of other libraries, if both are installed.
