Hi, I was experimenting with Linux Mandrake 8.2 recently and found that the sln (statically linked ln) executable was missing.
Recompiling the GNU fileutils 4.1 with LDFLAGS = -static created the statically linked exectuable alright, but I wondered if: the statically linked ln executable should be included in the util-linux package, and if there should be a configure option in GNU fileutils to create statically linked executables of any of the programs for inclusion in the /sbin directory, in addition to any dynamically linked executables.
