I'm confused or statically linked libraries



-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

I was rebuilding some packages since there are some I prefer to do on my 
own.  I noticed that ssh uses zlib and gmp.  zlib is libc6 already and
no problem.  I grabbed the sources to gmp and went to build it for
libc6.  I added -D_REENTRANT and -fPIC (I figured I'd deal with the
static lib later.) and built the library.  I made sure that it was
linked with -lc so that it would know the correct libc to use.
Unfortunately, after I did that, libgmp was still statically linked.  I
was confused since I thought I'd read a message that that was how it was 
done.  I grabbed the zlib source and built it since I knew it was
dynamically linked.  It did similar things yet it came out dynamically
linked.  I was confused since it seemed that the two were doing the same 
thing.  I'm hoping some of the ELF/libc folks on here can help.

Here's the sample compiler/linker/ldd lines:
gcc -O2 -c -I. -Impn -I. -O3 -D_REENTRANT -fPIC  extract-double.c
gcc -O2 -c -I. -Impn -I. -O3 -D_REENTRANT -fPIC  insert-double.c
gcc -shared -Wl,-soname,libgmp.so.2 -lc -o libgmp.so.2.0.2 *.o */*.o
{3}[1]~SRC/debian/local/gmp/gmp-2.0.2 kitchen:-) ldd libgmp.so.2.0.2
        statically linked

gcc -c  -O3 -Wall -Wwrite-strings -Wpointer-arith -Wconversion -Wstrict-prototypes \
    -Wmissing-prototypes -D_REENTRANT -fPIC -o shared/inffast.o inffast.c
gcc -c  -O3 -Wall -Wwrite-strings -Wpointer-arith -Wconversion -Wstrict-prototypes \
    -Wmissing-prototypes -D_REENTRANT -fPIC -o shared/infutil.o infutil.c
gcc -shared -Wl,-soname,libz.so.1 -lc -o ../libz.so.1.0.4 adler32.o compress.o \
    crc32.o gzio.o uncompr.o deflate.o trees.o zutil.o inflate.o infblock.o \
    inftrees.o infcodes.o infutil.o inffast.o
{4}[0]~SRC/debian/local/zlib/zlib-1.0.4 kitchen:-) ldd libz.so.1.0.4
        libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x40011000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x00000000)

BTW, I noticed that some libraries come up as (ELF-libc[56]) and some as 
(ELF).  My guess is that the first type have been linked with -lc and
know which libc there are based on and the second isn't.

Thanks,
  Darren
