Yes, I discussed with Stefan about static lib dependency too, and don't have any conclusion about it. Here are the possible difficulties: For any missing symbol in one static lib, we can possibly find more than one matches in other static libs. Besides, searching through ALL static libs in one machine to find matches is very time consuming, and (unconfirmed) possibly give different results in different machines. This is not unsolvable, for example, by recording all missing symbols of static libs somewhere, and grep the lists of symbols instead. I have a conjecture: dependency of static libs must be a subset of dependency of dynamic libs. Will it be simpler if my guess is true?
