They are dynamicly linked... to a pile of shared object libraries. The newest XEmacs are also compiled with the malloc from GNU Libc, (dlmalloc), rather than the gmalloc that's in the guile-unexec tarfile. I gather that this was a feat worth accomplishing, that the `dlmalloc' is superiour. I don't have the skills to find out or understand how it works yet, though I'm gaining on it turtlishly. ldd =xemacs libXaw.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/neXtaw/libXaw.so.6 (0x40012000) libcompface.so.1 => /usr/lib/libcompface.so.1 (0x40068000) libtiff.so.3 => /usr/lib/libtiff.so.3 (0x40073000) libpng.so.2 => /usr/lib/libpng.so.2 (0x400ab000) libjpeg.so.6a => /usr/lib/libjpeg.so.6a (0x400d6000) libz.so.1 => /usr/lib/libz.so.1 (0x400f4000) libXpm.so.4 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXpm.so.4 (0x40103000) libXmu.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXmu.so.6 (0x40111000) libXt.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6 (0x40123000) libXext.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.so.6 (0x4016b000) libX11.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 (0x40177000) libSM.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libSM.so.6 (0x4021b000) libICE.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libICE.so.6 (0x40224000) libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x4023a000) libdb.so.2 => /lib/libdb.so.2 (0x4023d000) libgdbm.so.1 => /usr/lib/libgdbm.so.1 (0x4024b000) libgpm.so.1 => /usr/lib/libgpm.so.1 (0x40251000) libncurses.so.3.4 => /lib/libncurses.so.3.4 (0x40257000) libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x4029c000) libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x402b5000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000)
