I've thought a little more about this. What do you think about adding this to
6.73. Cleaning Up:
mkdir -p /usr/lib/static
mv -v /usr/lib/*.a /usr/lib/static
mv -v /usr/lib/static/lib{a,b,c,etc}.a /usr/lib
In other words, put all the static libs in a location not normally searched
and then move back only those really needed.
First, it does not prevent builders on i686 from accidentally
linking in a static lib if they make a mistake - by 6.73 everything
in LFS chapter 6 has been built.
There are lots of ways to make mistakes, but I can't really see how someone can
link a static library into one of the LFS packages without really going far from
the book and changing a Makefile or similar. I suppose removing a .so file may
revert back to the complementary .a file.
Second, I assume by "only those really needed" you mean primarily
static glibc libs, i.e. those everyone assumes are used by configure
scripts. If I was doing that I would be tempted to move _nothing_
back.
Yes, I was referring to glibc libraries, but I think you must have at least
libc_nonshared.a somewhere in the search chain. See the output from
$ echo 'main(){}' > dummy.c
$ cc dummy.c -v -Wl,--verbose &> dummy.log
What's *really* needed is unclear to me right now.
