I know you can do shared libs with no-MMU systems, I've already used FDPIC on Blackfin, thanks. I didn't mean those two things to be bound together. But it's well known that : * Some packages do not support static build * Some packages do not support no-MMU Those two sets of packages are not identical, that's why I proposed two different options. A package that doesn't support static build should do: depends on !BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB and all packages that do not work on !MMU should do depends on BR2_USE_MMU My intention is that users can't mistakenly select packages that do not build statically and/or do not work on !MMU systems. Is this more clear ?
