Well, the thing is: we need to patch a fair number of applications then (Xorg, gdb, ...) since the dependency used to be brought in automatically (even explicitly, in the case of libc.a), so it looked like it was a libc-provided feature. > But expressing your actual dependencies is a good thing, and > IMHO it makes sense to have "average" programs just using POSIXy interfaces > depend only on -lc and Hurdish programs explicitly depend on what they use. I don't really have any strong opinion either way, except that we'd need to patch applications to fix them. Samuel
