Well, it would at least be good to have a preliminary testing with a fairly large set of packages enabled, in a BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB=y configuration, to check that things are still working OK after applying this patch. Not a 100% coverage, but at least testing a few dozens of packages. Thomas -- Thomas Petazzoni, CTO, Free Electrons Embedded Linux, Kernel and Android engineering http://free-electrons.com
