Is there a way to take a dynamic binary on a Linux system and the dynamic libraries and make a static one from it? Isn't it that the libraries get linked and an image is created and that is then run? Isn't possible to dump the image to disk in an ELF form before it's executed? Then it would remove all the hassle with the dynamic libraries in Linux emulation. CL<
