As I understand it, the option is only relevant where the *main program* depends on a shared library which is pulled in recursively. A shared library which needs another one (which is an implementation detail that should remain hidden) is indeed pulled in automatically. But the recent change makes it so that the implicit library is only used to resolve symbols from the first library (and not from the main program). > Frank -Olaf. -- ___ Olaf 'Rhialto' Seibert -- The Doctor: No, 'eureka' is Greek for \X/ rhialto/at/xs4all.nl -- 'this bath is too hot.'
