I am trying to statically link the libraries while compiling a C++ program.
g++ (GCC) 4.8.5 20150623 (Red Hat 4.8.5-4)
$ g++ -std=c++11 -I/home/jerry/Desktop/tiny-dnn -m32 -pthread -static train.cpp -o train
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lstdc++
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lm
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lpthread
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lc
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
I found this post (/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lc while compiling with makefile ) that says to to install glibc-static.
bash-4.2# sudo yum install glibc-static

How can I install glibc-static? Please help.
Thanks.

glibc-static is only available in the Optional channels. RPM packages in the Optional channels are officially unsupported, which is why these channels are not enabled by default.
The exact command to enable optional channels depends on the product variant. Something like
subscription-manager repos --enable=rhel-7-server-optional-rpms
could work, but the details depend on your environment (and it's more a sysadmin than a programming matter at this point).
Note: There is are very good reasons why static linking is not supported by Red Hat. You really should avoid it.
I had this issue in the Docker container for Centos 8. I found that the following worked:
dnf --enablerepo=powertools install glibc-static
This was suggested from this packages site
you should user glibc-static to compile static bin
