I statically link every elf program I have to use these days,
because it's the only way to guarantee that it will work.
It adds ~250k to each and every binary, which isn't perfect,
but in the land of 128mb memory sticks costing US$180 is a
lot faster than writing a completely new libc and trying to
get other people to use it.
How many _programs_ are in the SO suite?

david parsons \bi/ Of course a.out doesn't have this problem, because
\/ (other) people aren't poking at the libraries anymore.
Bummer I can't get XF3.3.3 to compile as a.out.
