If a library that's linked in statically needs to be updated because of bugs you need to hunt down all binaries that link in this library and release updates for these too. Besides, statically linking in glibc only works completely if the binary doesn't use any name resolving functions like gethostbyname as a call to these will need the nss* libraries and these will always be loaded dynamically, even from a statically linked in glibc. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
