I have pre-alpha versions at http://people.debian.org/~dwhedon/. (libraryopt_1.0.1-2)
I just got them to sort of work today and haven't had a chance to look at why it doesn't completely work yet, but I'm posting them since there were other parties interested in playing and I don't want to hog all the fun :-) Have a look at the -2.diff.gz to see where I am coming from, we basically build depend on the -pic packages and create the objects and index we need from them. I think that is a pretty good way of doing it, feel free to disagree and suggest an alternative. I also put in a few lines that copy over missing libraries, libopt previously assumed unreduced libraries already on the target. Results (note, as I said above, I haven't looked at why. I think using this software is a good idea long term and I'm sure we're close to success) I reduced idepci root.bin and it was 13k bigger using libopt than using mklibs. In addition dbootstrap didn't want to run: \h:\w\$ dbootstrap dbootstrap: relocation error: /lib/libdl.so.2: symbol __cxa_finalize, version GLIBC_2.1.3 not defined in file libc.so.6 with link time reference \h:\w\$ but ash and busybox were happy. Places to look at for the bugs, I think the bugs is in one of the are in the build scripts. That's all for now, -David -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
