My quest to port our system from gcc 2.96 to gcc 3.2.3 continues. I'm now trying to resolve link errors. I'm getting a bunch of messages that take the form: Using 'foo' in statically linked applications requires at runtime the shared libraries from the glibc version used for linking. Where foo is one of many library calls (e.g. getpwnam, getservbyname, etc.) Ok ... so what's the deal here? If I'm linking statically, why does it need the glibc shared libs? Am I prohibited from linking certain libs statically? For that matter, what exactly is the significance of this message? Is it just a helpful hint? Or a warning? Or an error? What's it take to make this go away? -- Gary Cote gcote@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
