And the linker can not be fixed to undo NFS mounts, only to optimize unused directories away, as far as I can see it. Optimizing away unused directories is essential. Your patch would impose the directory requirements on all C programs, which presumably do not use the shared libstdc++ anyhow. It would also impose the directory requirements even on people who do not have a shared libstdc++. The problem is not programs that do require the directories; those programs are going to hang no matter what you do. The problem is programs that do not require the directories. Ian
