Yeah, this is what I figured patches would be needed for and it's more a policy issue of fs layout than a technical problem. A couple things that could be useful: * All dynamic/static flag (imp's option above) * Flag to selectively link dynamically/statically, overriding the above flag for specific binaries (Makefile flags?) * Minimal /lib (libc, ...?) with symlinks from /usr/lib * Optional recovery crunchgen utility. -Nate To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
