<para>In general, the LFS editors discourage building and installing static
libraries. The original purpose for most static libraries has been made

obsolete in a modern Linux system. In addition, linking a static library
into a program can be detrimental. If an update to the library is needed
to remove a security problem, all programs that use the static library will
need to be relinked to the new library. Since the use of static libraries

need to be relinked with the new library. Since the use of static libraries
is not always obvious, the relevant programs (and the procedures needed to
do the linking) may not even be known.</para>
