Dear Mr. Simon Phipps, all, did I already find the solution ?? Did/does it exist for years? http://developers.sun.com/prodtech/cc/documentation/ss11/mr/READMEs/c++.html ""If you want to use the shared-library version of libCstd and/or libiostream you have two options: 1. Distribute the SUNWlibC patch with your product, or 2. require your customers to download the latest SUNWlibC patch from a Sun web site, such as http://www.sunsolve.sun.com. The patch is free, and is freely re-distributable"" The "freely redistributable patch" from "option 1." does include all the *desired* libraries, plus more. What are we then actually talking about?! I really don't understand this world anymore, sorry: No, No, No-no-No, YES No, huhh?? Please advise.
