If that's the case, we shouldn't be stripping static libs. I updated http://dominion.thruhere.net/git/cgit.cgi/openembedded/log/?h=koen/static-libs-rework If those changes look OK, I'll start going to recipes with custom packaging (e.g. qt4) and have them put static libs -static as well. And I see a DISTRO_PR bump coming for angstrom. regards, Koen
