  Hi.  I have another situation that I am curious about.  Perhaps I just
don't know how to get gcc to do what I want, but I thought it was worth
asking...

  I'm trying to compile an X client program on a Sun Sparc (SunOS 4.1.1)
and I want it to be staticly linked to the X libraries, but dynamicly
linked to the C library.

  The line that make produces is:

gcc -fpcc-struct-return -o chooser-static chooser.o -O2   -static -L../.././lib/Xaw -lXaw -L../.././lib/Xmu -lXmu -L../.././lib/Xt -lXt -L../.././extensions/lib -lXext -L../.././lib/X -lX11 ../.././lib/Xdmcp/libXdmcp.a -dynamic -ldl -L/usr/local/X11R5/lib

  This is, of course, the line setup through imake.  So, it has a -static
*and* a -dynamic.  I'll get back to this.

  The link line that I see by using gcc -v (other than that, it's the
same line as above) is:

/usr/local/gnu/lib/gcc-lib/sun3-sunos4.1/2.2.2/ld -e start -dc -dp -Bstatic -o chooser-static /lib/crt0.o /lib/Mcrt1.o -L../.././lib/Xaw -L../.././lib/Xmu -L../.././lib/Xt -L../.././extensions/lib -L../.././lib/X -L/usr/local/gnu/lib/gcc-lib/sun3-sunos4.1/2.2.2 -L/usr/local/gnu/lib chooser.o -lXaw -lXmu -lXt -lXext -lX11 ../.././lib/Xdmcp/libXdmcp.a -lgcc -lc -L/usr/lib/f68881 -lgcc

  Now, this line will die, failing to find the routines _dlsym, _dlopen,
and _dlclose.  These routines exist in a library for which there is no .a,
only a .so.*.  So, the fix for that would be to have the above line read:

/usr/local/gnu/lib/gcc-lib/sun3-sunos4.1/2.2.2/ld -e start -dc -dp -Bstatic -o chooser-static /lib/cr
t0.o /lib/Mcrt1.o -L../.././lib/Xaw -L../.././lib/Xmu -L../.././lib/Xt -L../.././extensions/lib -L../
.././lib/X -L/usr/local/gnu/lib/gcc-lib/sun3-sunos4.1/2.2.2 -L/usr/local/gnu/lib chooser.o -lXaw -lXm
u -lXt -lXext -lX11 ../.././lib/Xdmcp/libXdmcp.a -lgcc -Bdynamic -lc -L/usr/lib/f68881 -lgcc

instead.  The -Bdynamic before the -lc will create a dynamic link to the dl
library.  I was assuming that -dynamic on the compile line would do this,
but it appears not to.  Is there any way to get this behaviour, short of
hand-linking?

  Thanks...
