Plus, a quick and unscientific profile of the build process leads me to believe that not linking every plugin against a 50MB (debug) libcrystalspace.a would slash 25% off of the build time on my box, which is a not-insubstantial amount of time.
One thing people tend to forget, at times, is that modern static linkers are smart enough to extract from the library only the objects actually needed for a given module. For instance, if you create a plugin which uses only csString and SCF, then the static linker will pull in only those two objects (and whatever few objects upon which they may depend). Couple this with the fact that symbols in libraries are normally indexed, object extraction from a library can be done without too much overhead.
