thinking of gnulib, i can see a lot of potential problems, starting fex, that gnulib modules are copied into the packages, rather than gnulib beeing an installed library that is linked against (is this true always?).
It is true that gnulib is usually copied into packages. However, it is possible to put multiple gnulib modules into a single statically linked library. This is what gentoo does with its ebuild; you can search recent archives for "libposix", too (which is just a selection of gnulib modules improving the POSIX-ness of a system).
in gentoo prefix (gentoo main too? idk) there is a "gnulib" ebuild, which builds a library of gnulib to fix some system deficiencies, but IIRC it's static only. i'd rather like suacomp to be static wherever possible to ease bugfixing, upgrades, etc.
There's something inconsistent here. :) Paolo
