Hi! We should more proactively discourage static linking in FC7+, for reasons for that see http://people.redhat.com/drepper/no_static_linking.html Removing libc.a would be most effective, but I'm afraid we still need a handful of statically linked binaries for boot time initialization and system recovery utilities. So, I think it would be best if we could analyze what in FC7/FE7 is linked statically, why, if it really needs to be linked that way and what *.a libraries does it link in and kill all other *.a libraries (unless the library is only in *.a form, examples libbfd.a, libc_nonshared.a, libpthread_nonshared.a, libsupc++.a, libgfortranbegin.a) and kill all other libraries. E.g. ideally we'd drop libpthread.a, librt.a, libstdc++.a, libgfortran.a, libboost*.a, all GUI libs that have also *.so libs, etc. Thoughts?
