I'd be opposed to this. How many popular projects can you name, that build two variants on Linux?
Every single one that uses libtool:
That's a strong statement, are you really sure? ;-) That's only true if a project does not decide to disable static linking, as documented at: http://www.delorie.com/gnu/docs/libtool/libtool_27.html Say, one popular example of C++ on Linux is KDE 3.* stack -- which has static linking disabled. After fresh build, for me, there are 64 .so files and a total of one .a file. Current version of GtkMM (C++ wrapper of Gtk) likewise disables static builds. And it's not like all C projects build both variants either ;-) - Volodya
