bash-4.3/lib/readline/complete.c:2193: warning: Using 'getpwent' in statically linked applications requires at runtime the shared libraries from the glibc version used for linking
Other syms: getpwnam, setpwent, endpwent. Is providing a static lib that reads the local machine's /etc/passwd file really beyond the capabilities of the glibc people? The configure comment says one would build bash static for 'miniroot operations by 'root' (formatting other partitions, restoring, etc...). I don't really see why dynamic libs are needed at a time that no other file systems may be mounted -- operating in like "run level 1 (single user). This has a political feel to it (only because I can't imagine any techncial reason to not provide it). Does anyone else ever try a static link on bash? My 'bash' is 'bigger than most distro bashes (1.2M), but everything but the libc stuff is builtin (all the builtins & help files -- given that's all in there, 1.2M doesn't seem that large these days
