Andrew's comment is correct if you work with statically linked code where the compiler pulls out only the needed .o files from a .a library, but that's pretty out of fashion these days. Most people are dealing with a monolithic libpq.so and might carp a bit if it gets 25% or 50% bigger for stuff that doesn't interest them. Perhaps I'm overly sensitive to this because I'm tuned into Red Hat's constant struggles to fit a Linux distribution onto a reasonable number of CDs ... regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
