The motivation should be to make life easy for developers and not harder. I need them for: http://people.gnome.org/~alexl/glick/ Right now I just hacked the packages and rebuild it locally. -- 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.

That's why fedora does the same. Besides that, since glibc adopted SUN's plugable name resolution (i.e. libnss*) scheme, static binaries are only possible when none of the name resolution functions like gethostbyname(3) are used. If they are used, glibc dynamically loads the libnss* library, even from a static glibc! It would be far easier to modify glick to use dynamic libraries. -- 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.
