Mm, what version skew problem could happen? > Personally I don't think it makes sense to build this library into > your application. > > Do you have a particular reason for needing it static in your application? Because the applications I'm using here (scientific computation) want best achievable speed, and linking statically gives a fair boost. As a result, it's very usual to find those with "-static" hardwired in the Makefiles. Having to modify all applications' Makefile is somewhat tedious... Samuel
