I don't remember exactly anymore want are the exact problems but the locale loading code always had problems which doing only parts of the work. You might remember, there was code to prevent loading entire categories if they are not used. This never really worked but at that time nobody used the code for real and so the problems were not discovered. I personally don't care at all how big static binaries are. Nobody must use them except for very few exceptions and for those larger code size is ok. -- ---------------. drepper at gnu.org ,-. 1325 Chesapeake Terrace Ulrich Drepper \ ,-------------------' \ Sunnyvale, CA 94089 USA Cygnus Solutions `--' drepper at cygnus.com `------------------------
