This one's somewhat likely (at least in part) to be due to a pernicious practice of initializing everything in sight, rather than relying on the goodness of .bss. For what it's worth, there's likely quite a bit of library-related clean-up in the Install gate for someone who is so inclined. A lot of the gate still uses static libraries rather than dynamic and thus has a fair amount of object code duplication. Unfortunately, the one you're citing can't really be part of the community effort, and thus doesn't apply here. LU itself is stuck as closed source. -- James Carlson, KISS Network <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sun Microsystems / 1 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677 _______________________________________________ opensolaris-code mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/opensolaris-code
