Once the shed is painted, could you post a summary? Sure. I've added an option called DYNAMIC_ROOT_BINS. When it is defined and not NO, then /bin and /sbin, as represented by src/{sbin,bin}, will be built shared. I'll be committing it shortly. Mike also suggested a NO_STATIC_LIBRARIES. An idea I like, but will leave unimplemented for a time. Lots of other discussions that weren't on topic for my needs also happened. Much of it was interesting, but is left unsummarized here.
