When you say, only one "feature" - please, could you tell us what do you mean exactly ? I mean, does it mean that only one "function" in your app uses only one API/call from MathLib or is it that one module in your app uses only one API from MathLib ? In short, what I feel is that if you are using only one or two APIs from the MathLib, then its probably bad idea to link the entire MathLib in your relocatable program. You would be better off if you were to implement these one or two functions yourself. That way, you would be squeezing many useful bytes. Why to give an entire 50Kish lib with your app and increase the deplyoment-kit size ? BTW, Manohar, are you not the one who has worked on porting the Symbol Bar Code lib on JVM ?
