Yes. [And works fine, I do this in my day time job all over the place]. The only tricky part is to get the 'seemingly unused' static dummy variables whose constructors are used for the registration on startup from a library in a binary ;-} I do this with --whole-archive, but that's not optimal and I do not know how to do this for non-GNU ld. That's the reason why mathed's factory doesn't use it already. Andre' -- Those who desire to give up Freedom in order to gain Security, will not have, nor do they deserve, either one. (T.
