It would be really tricky to build half with static and half without: our configure and build system really assumes that fundamental stuff like "what libraries" and "what compiler flags" are the same across the whole of the build. Is --static-user really much better than: * allow --static --disable-system --disable-tools * forbid --static without --disable-system --disable-tools * require users to build the static usermode binaries separately from the system/tools build (which is in practice what we have now) ? Debian wants both static usermode and non-static usermode binaries, so they'd still need to build multiple times anyway. thanks -- PMM
