The thread guys don't want to support static thread libraries ;-) But I proposed this a few months ago (year?) in -current and there was some reluctance. Imp was one that was against it (from what I can remember). The reason given was speed of static binaries is faster than dynamic. I didn't force the issue any more than that. That's how I recall it anyways. I'll have to search the list archives to see if I can find the thread. -- Dan Eischen
