static linking only some libraries

How can I statically link only a some specific libraries to my binary when linking with GCC?

gcc ... -static ... tries to statically link all the linked libraries, but I haven't got the static version of some of them (eg: libX11).

gcc linker static-libraries

gcc objectfiles -o program -Wl,-Bstatic -ls1 -ls2 -Wl,-Bdynamic -ld1 -ld2

you can also use: -static-libgcc -static-libstdc++ flags for gcc libraries

keep in mind that if libs1.so and libs1.a both exists, the linker will pick libs1.so if it's before -Wl,-Bstatic or after -Wl,-Bdynamic. Don't forget to pass -L/libs1-library-location/ before calling -ls1.
