<title>About libraries</title>
<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
is not always obvious, deciding which programs (and the procedures needed to
do the linking) may not even be known.</para>
<para>In the prcedures in Chapter 6, we remove or disable installation of
most static libraries. In a few cases, especially glibc and gcc, the use
of static libraries remains essential to the general package building
process. Usually this is done by passing a
<option>--disable-static</option> option to <command>configure</command>.
In other cases, alternate means are needed.</para>
