-Bstatic flag

Hi all,

Can some body explain why -Bstatic flag is used on Solaris. I think
this flag is not supported in sunstudio 11 compiler. when I pass
compilation row,
cc -Bstatic x.c
I got the following error,

d: fatal: library -lc: not found
ld: fatal: File processing errors. No output written to a.out

thanks in advance,
Seema Rao
