Why?

While I am very happy with a totally-dynamic system, I do see the need for=
=20
static linking a few programs. I personally do it so that the executable
has everything needed to debug what was happening (along with the core).=20
:-)

How would encoding dependencies in the shared libs break static libs?=20
Also, wouldn't it be nice to add dependencies to static linking too,=20
though more as an instruction to ld rather than ld.elf_so...  ??

Take care,
