While I agree that objprelink isn't worth the hassle, KDE3 hasn't really rendered its minor speed boost meaningless. A more worthwhile endeavor would be to start filtering what goes in a library's export table. Smaller tables == faster loading. Currently everything's exported, and given how Qt (ab)uses C++ and the piss poor way in which C++ is handled by the binutils... there are loads of useless symbols bloating the libraries. - alex To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
