Segmentation Fault Using Threads With Static Compile

I was playing a bit with threads in C++ and all was going well. For the final compile I wanted a static binary (don't judge me, I have my reasons ;)). Compile passed as expected but executing program resulted in Segmentation fault (core dumped) error:

Terminal  Copy
g++ -pthread -static test.cpp
a.out
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Well, these were definitely not the droids I was looking for.

Strangely enough, issue was with my thread.join() statement. Something that shouldn't cause any issues.

It took me some time (in addition to helpful GCC ticket and StackOverflow answer) to finally come to the following compilation line:

Terminal  Copy
g++ -static -pthread -D_GLIBCXX_GTHREAD_USE_WEAK=0 -std=c++0x \
    -Wl,--whole-archive -lpthread -Wl,--no-whole-archive test.cpp

And now my static binary worked happily ever after.
