(1) http://www.akkadia.org/drepper/no_static_linking.html (2) it's using the nss system which lets people drop modules into the system at anytime and change the overall lookups to use that. statically linking a specific subset would block that ability. which means people using provide= rs like ldap would be stuck with static binaries that don't work. https://www.gnu.org/software/libc/manual/html_node/Name-Service-Switch.html i'm not going to debate the relevance of such a system nowadays as i don't care. purely pointing out that it's not a "political" issue (nor have you provided any references to back up your specious claim). > Seems simple enough to provide such a widely asked for=20 > feature -- even if it has to be less functional/flexible > than the dynamic version (i.e. Gnu would have done the best > they could under the circumstances).=20 it's already been provided. build glibc w/--enable-static-nss. -mike --RvrrZ8vH9xW05bsQ Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: Digital signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJV0/WcAAoJEEFjO5/oN/WBgZgP+QFKlJiwh5JqaBzo8nolp4Q0 pyKLi6gUKasx0rnCyr2AALsAm6NoCXAUyP8BA3/We84zm8++pXf6yyXZ3SVoFEMr PO5ZFPNaDx7Qb+vtlVlyW1EY5tDqz56S9HWVwrJwhtVl+D2m62tGXomDAdJb5kTs znpEt9lSvfpnBIo1mkfadVsPvdJ11wh4JaW00u6yDWXXstuL5fq7y1CTw9GTLuba WA2sEFtONwOZn2xGgkZ7MKAuotAIzTh06/B/2b9DuG+8/QZ/c71KPj+Nu5ogWECn pJ4KK6FNDpiFCb9urlfnI40mbDHNGrBfkJ2tLMFq2tqSlOiJUipFEdWs67Aix1Hi iB7UU0VrqOpl5mPHDWZkQxQGwd0Zpe9un3HLKfISnIWifZLGnMQZQpPowGdml6kN k+QbyrkHcDhyyorX5ZvDAiFZivccJ/6nlDS+d1cdzp0XMuwCfxMGJO2N2J+xn5mr T3k7TvKv4xZJc318LliIHQD1zx9QuTOxh+AVEuoo9F6i8qACxCdiARml9twvuiFV iV7VwofqjFzZUmU58xE/QcmXvckJNrXVnSV3ILhP8KAzi0FSYFqJ71uH6B5B8UlZ qE98VzNvm4QjeEUJ0wUsGt2K6gpMEqNnLjZP982wQaKIdb3wunodwDY1VI4VdUTh T+Df8IZZXObbqmTOVgQf =HDVe -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --RvrrZ8vH9xW05bsQ--
