> Static libs on every platform need to have this dependency info. Oops, I didn't consider that. Sure.
In any case, I'm not talking about removing this info but simply ignoring it when linking dynamic libs (which I guess is the situation 95% of the time on platforms with dynamic libs). The algorithm should be something like (in linux): - include_dynamic(libfoo): read libfooname.so from libfoo.la and pass to gcc [but ignore dependency_libs] - include_static(libfoo): as currently done in libtool since we need the deps. Does this make any sense? One potential problem I can see is the case when libfoo.so has been linked against a static lib itself, will this break things? When the time to generate the .la file comes, libtool would include the dependencies just as it does now.
