I don't think that the primary purpose of tsort/lorder is to produce a functioning library. The idea is to reduce the link time when the library is later used by reducing the number of passes that the link editor has to make over the input libraries. I doubt this matters much anymore, and it's certainly not going to help with the sort of libraries that PostgreSQL produces with circular references all over. -- Peter Eisentraut http://developer.postgresql.org/~petere/ ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
