Not really, linking with a static libc is no longer supported on Linux because
of the way nsswitch works, i.e. the resulting binary might work but is no more
portable to other systems (depends on the systems nsswitch configuration) than a
dynamically linked binary.

Since this problem does not apply to libgfortran, libm and libquadmath you might
get better results, once you have installed the corresponding .a files, by
trying something like:

$ gfortran prime.f90 -Wl,-Bstatic -lgfortran -lm -lquadmath -Wl,-Bdynamic

Thanks,
But I am not looking for portability.
This is the problem I faced when I tried to compile a code with ifort
with "-fast" option enabled.
"It sets the following options:

· On OS X* systems: -ipo, -mdynamic-no-pic, -O3,
-no-prec-div, and -xHost On Windows* systems: /O3, /Qipo, /Qprec-div-,
and /QxHost
On Linux* systems: -ipo, -O3, -no-prec-div, -static, and
-xHost""
from man ifort
