My question is this: if in fact the letter of the law of the LGPL is
followed, doesn't any program that links to glibc need to distribute
re-linkable object files? Wouldn't that include Netscape, Staroffice
and all other Linux programs that run against glibc? After all, these
programs have never been "home-relinkable," so-to-speak.
