For example, openssh, bitcoin, some digital certificates are using ECC... There are propably others examples, but I've not done an extended research on the matter. And one would need to make -freeworld version of at least openssl, libgcrypt and possibly more do have full coverage.
Anyway, could anyone give some pointers or even spec file for bundling and static linking ? I'd like to take a look before trying the same for libaacs. Regards, Xavier
