Hi, I have just upgraded from gcc 2.7.0 to 2.7.2 (and upgraded to binutil 2.6.0.2, libc-5.2.18, ld.so-1.7.14). I tried to compile some X programs, and found that the executables were statically linked. I.e., when I did % ldd -v oneko "oneko" was linked only to libc and libm, but not to the libX stuff. The compiliation was done as: % cc -O2 -m486 -ansi -I/usr/X11R6/include -Dlinux -D__i386__ -D_POSIX_SOURCE -D_BSD_SOURCE -D_GNU_SOURCE -DX_LOCALE -DFUNCPROTO=15 -DNARROWPROTO -DSHAPE -I/usr/local/include -c oneko.c -o oneko.o % /bin/rm -f oneko % cc -o oneko -O2 -m486 -ansi -L/usr/X11R6/lib oneko.o -L/usr/local/lib -lXExExt -lXext -lX11 -lm -Wl,-rpath,/usr/X11R6/lib I tried adding a "-Wl,-Bdynamic" to the last command, but that didn't do any good. I had compiled this with gcc 2.7.0 just a few months ago (with the exact same option flags), and it was linked dynamically. The executable will run all right, but it is HUGE (since it links statically; size is 221560 instead of 35568). Do I need to add something to tell it to link dynamically? Thanks in advance!
