Slightly of topic with this, but I've tried to run statifier on the surf binary (from my archlinux virtual machine) to generate a psuedo statically linked blob, it sort of works if the target distro that you intend to run the binary on is using a new enough glibc. I ran into all sorts of backward compatibility issues with threading when I tried to run the psuedo statically linked blob on a rhel5 like system (older glibc's) it's not really static linking that I tried but its close to some of your goals i think. anyway the blob i got was about 80megs in size when it was outputted from statifier. jimmy -- Jimmy Tang Trinity Centre for High Performance Computing, Lloyd Building, Trinity College Dublin, Dublin 2, Ireland. http://www.tchpc.tcd.ie/
