The savings of creating static libraries would be small if we refrained from building non-PIC object files. This is exactly what --tag disable-static for compilations accomplishes, and we had a patch to use that in our tree for some time, but RTH ran into a (probably libtool) bug on alpha that led him to revert the change, and then didn't provide enough info for anyone else without access to an alpha box to figure out what the problem was and then try to fix it :-( -- Alexandre Oliva http://www.ic.unicamp.br/~oliva/ Red Hat Compiler Engineer aoliva@{redhat.com, gcc.gnu.org} Free Software Evangelist oliva@{lsd.ic.unicamp.br, gnu.org}
