I'm trying to compile a program and link it statically (so it doesn't depend on any libraries at runtime). I'm fairly sure this is possible with GCC/G++, and the closest option I have found is the -static option. Is this the correct way to link a program statically? Thanks in advance!

To the best of my knowledge, it is.
