Probably best to not use it at all unless there's a specific need: 
./configure --disable-dbus-support

Needed for writing .wav files, etc.: http://www.mega-nerd.com/libsndfile/

Or ./configure --disable-libsndfile-support if you don't require the 
functionality.

Provided by GNU gcc.  A complete gcc install should have static versions 
of both.  You'll have to pass the "-static-libgcc" and "-static-libstdc++" 
options to the linker to use them.

I don't know if the Darwin linker will let you get away with this or not. 
Hopefully, someone who knows about macs will chime in.  Also, linking 
these statically may cause problems with exception handling.

If fink doesn't provide static versions, you might have to build GCC 
yourself.  Get gcc-core and gcc-g++ from ftp://ftp.gnu/org/gnu/gcc and 
follow the build/install instructions.  A 4.2 or 4.4 version should be 
adequate, and have fewer build dependencies than 4.6.
