Doesn't matter either, our shared libs are already as simple to build as ELF ones. (That's also why we don't have an _urgent_ need to convert to ELF.) And no, we didn't have been inflated by shared libs yet. I'm currently counting 34 different of them on my system, though i've noticed that i'm carrying too many outdated ones around (often three different versions). -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
