Lance,
All,

Sorry for the long delay... (mail server issues) :-(

It's not supported to build static toolchains for now. Sorry.

Even if it were the correct variables, they'd get overwriten when reading
the config file.

You'd better go to the menu, and set them there:
  "binutils" --> "binutils extra config"
and
  "C compiler" --> "gcc extra config"

But I doubt that'd work. Or if it does, it's only by chance. Please report
either case. I'd gladly accept a patch, as I'm not usually building static
TCs.
