I have a problem with linking: When I invoke make, I always give it the -DNOSTATIC option on the commandline to save space. However, this doesn't work. My system still builds static libraries. Or are the binaries linked dynamically, and the static libs are there for nothing? I guess it's safe to delete them, right? Everything is self-compiled, I do not use binary packages at all. Also, I read that the kernel can execute gzipped a.out binaries directly, can the same thing be done for ELF? I need a really small system, because I want to boot and run it from CD-ROM. Regards, Daniela
