Couldn't we get rid of static libraries altogether, replacing static linking with ahead-of-time dynamic linking? There's still a theoretical difference between -fPIE and -fPIC: -fPIE can use non-indirect IP-relative function calls even for unhidden symbols. But GCC currently doesn't use this opportunity, as far as I can tell, so static libraries really seem a bit superfluous. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
