Do we have to recompile all the libs? From the first analysis of the Makefiles, it appears as though it does not have to? 3) Do I have to recompile all utilities in order to exploit this shared lib? 4) Is the patches to gcc and g++ really necessary? We can use command line options to select alternative crt and libc, can't we? I've deleted a lot of large sources but it is the small programs that benefit the most from shared libs, don't they? -- Othman bin Ahmad, School of EEE, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore 2263.
