I am compiling some libraries which tries to check for gcc "-static" option as shown below. In RHEL6 this fails as "cannot find -lc". 

[root@ ]# echo 'main(){return(0);}' > conftest.c
[root@ ]# gcc -o conftest -g -O2   -static conftest.c
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lc
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
[root@ ]#

I could not find libc.a available in the system.

How to fix this issue?

Install the glibc-static package.
