Hi,

What’s the recipe for building a static rustc binary similar to the stage0 snapshot?

Thx

Haven’t tried it yet but it seems it’s provided in `mk/snap.mk`, e.g:

`make snap-stage3-H-i686-unknown-linux-gnu`

EDIT: Yes, that was it and `--enable-llvm-static-stdcpp` comes in rather handy to get rid of [libstdc++.so](http://libstdc++.so) dependency.
