At any rate my other cleanups should be orthogonal to all that. > There are un-merged patches in the pipeline which make this all work > correctly with todays toolchains - which mostly means getting rid of > all static data to make the compiler produce the right relocations. Well perhaps you could send them to me. -- Matt Mackall : http://www.selenic.com : Linux development and consulting
