I am working on extending the exclude list 'excludes' in bindepend.py. It strikes me that this list is the union of all libs that should be excluded on all platforms.
I think of splitting the list up so depending on platform, different things are added to the list. DLLs, for example, are only relevant on Windows and Cygwin. GNU libs (glibc) are standard on Linux, but not on AIX. Of course, by changing the list I run the risk of breaking something. However, without doing something, I will exclude too many libs on AIX. To be (more) sure not to break anything, I could start out by: * Excluding all DLLs currently in the list when on Windows and Cygwin. * Excluding all lib*.so currently in the list when on any non-AIX platforms. * Create my hand tailored exclude list of lib*.a when on AIX. A more gentle approach could be: * Leave the exclude list as is for all non-AIX platform (and let somebody else do the cleanup here later). * Create my hand tailored exclude list of lib*.a when on AIX. Doing this I am sure not to make anything worse than today on non-AIX platforms.
