I don't think that's the case with Solaris. As of Solaris 9, there are 40-50 static libraries in /usr/lib: gpz [65] $ uname -a SunOS gpz 5.9 Generic sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-80 gpz [64] $ ls /usr/lib/lib*.a /usr/lib/lib300.a /usr/lib/libcurses.a /usr/lib/libnls.a /usr/lib/lib300s.a /usr/lib/libelf.a /usr/lib/libnsl.a /usr/lib/lib4014.a /usr/lib/libform.a /usr/lib/libpanel.a /usr/lib/lib450.a /usr/lib/libgen.a /usr/lib/libpkg.a /usr/lib/libTL.a /usr/lib/libgenIO.a /usr/lib/libplot.a /usr/lib/libadm.a /usr/lib/libintl.a /usr/lib/librac.a /usr/lib/libadt_jni.a /usr/lib/libl.a /usr/lib/librpcsvc.a /usr/lib/libbsdmalloc.a /usr/lib/libldfeature.a /usr/lib/libsec.a /usr/lib/libbsm.a /usr/lib/libm.a /usr/lib/libsocket.a /usr/lib/libc.a /usr/lib/libmail.a /usr/lib/libtermcap.a /usr/lib/libc2.a /usr/lib/libmalloc.a /usr/lib/libtermlib.a /usr/lib/libc2stubs.a /usr/lib/libmapmalloc.a /usr/lib/libvolmgt.a /usr/lib/libcmd.a /usr/lib/libmenu.a /usr/lib/libvt0.a /usr/lib/libcrypt.a /usr/lib/libmp.a /usr/lib/libw.a /usr/lib/libcrypt_i.a /usr/lib/libnisdb.a /usr/lib/liby.a gpz [68] $ ls /usr/lib/lib*thread* /usr/lib/libpthread.so /usr/lib/libthread.so /usr/lib/libthread_db.so /usr/lib/libpthread.so.1 /usr/lib/libthread.so.1 /usr/lib/libthread_db.so.1 IRIX also doesn't seem to provide static thread libraries. Just because Solaris and IRIX doesn't mean we shouldn't; I'm just using those as examples. -- Dan Eischen
