Hi,Awesome, thanks a lot! This relieves me of a big pain point for the integration in VLC.For the next steps, I'll probably try to dig into the dependency forwarding during partial linking. I've been maintaining some horrible hacks in our buildsystem to be able to handle this but I feel I could somehow allow libtool --mode=link $CC -r libpartiallylinked.la $OBJS to generate a convenience library with a single object and thus provides the dependencies which would then reuse libtool for this.Hopefully this would be a practical libtool use case for partial linking that would help move this part forward.Do you know approximately how much time I would have to implement this before release?
The next release should be done by the end of this week or next week, but it will only be a beta release. Depending on how significant the changes made for what you suggest are, it is possible that I could merge in your patch after the beta release and before the upcoming stable release.
