PW#5-7: Linking shared libraries with -lc
[This mail is part of Debian Policy Weekly issue #5]
Topic 7: Linking shared libraries with -lc
STATE: APPROVAL
One of the release goals for Debian 2.0 has been to link all shared
libraries dynamically against each other. This can be done by using the
`-lc' option when linking the library. With that, the library will contain
valuable dependency information about which other libraries the library is
linked against.
Unless someone objects, I'll change the policy manual to force this linker
option for all shared libraries.
