In case you have trouble with dynamic loading of shared libraries,
you will find that a static gdb comes in handy.
However, it has been noticed at least on x86 that enabling this
option produces an invalid gdb binary. It is linked with
"-static -Wl,--dynamic-list=..." which
# (a) requests invalid program interpreter
# (b) crashes glibc/uClibc-ng and does not work with musl
# See https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2017-03/msg00267.html
It is possible it would work with other architectures, hence it is
not completely removed. Use with care and report to the mailing list
if the resulting gdbserver works.
