> > http://people.redhat.com/drepper/no_static_linking.html It really depends on what the software is intended to. For system softwares dynamic linking is unavoidable, but for numerical software, where the security/bugfixes/nss/glibc arguments don't hold having statically linked binaries may be of help. I have static binaries that work since 6 or more years and it is very convenient to just run them on any new linux. I still agree that linking statically in general and especially with openssl isn't a good choice. -- Pat -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
