Well, I'll go on record as being one that is 100% opposite with you on this one, Jeremy. I don't want libraries statically linked in my GCC and then discover that one of them (or both) have vulnerabilities discovered, which would make me then have to rebuild GCC. -- Randy -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
