By "shared objects" do you mean the shared libraries (.so, .a, .la)? Are those libraries actually used by other software? If not I don't think it serves any purpose to split them into separate packages... One thing you could try is to perform static linking (--enable-static --disable-shared), that should get rid of most (if not all) produced shared libraries. -- Met vriendelijke groet, With kind regards, Giel van Schijndel -- "The required techniques of effective reasoning are pretty formal, but as long as programming is done by people that don't master them, the software crisis will remain with us and will be considered an incurable disease.
