I guess that it makes possible to create libraries that are written in C++ but don't depend on libstdc++. It also contains PIC code of libsupc++. Reference: /OE/build/static/tmp/work/armv5te-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/gcc-4.3.3-r7.1/gcc-4.3.3/libstdc++-v3/src/Makefile.am _pic.a libraries are typically useful for large convoluted libraries containing many independent function sets, e. g. mathematical libraries. ________________________________________________________________________ Stanislav Brabec http://www.penguin.cz/~utx/zaurus _______________________________________________ Openembedded-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linuxtogo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openembedded-devel
