Nobody directly (AFAIK), but via libibumad. I guess -libcommon is listed as part of LDFLAGS in some ibutils Makefile (this is why I didn't want to make a "noise" during 1.3 release cycle). > If not we can remove it to the private list I would suggest to not have a "private" list at all - only "public". Basically I see nothing wrong in using a "private" libraries by others. Just think that it should be clear which OFED libraries have stable API.
