I realize that and I'm pretty much aware of how to generate a static
executable under FreeBSD (``-static'' for gcc -Bstatic for ld). I get one
of two errors trying to create the static version of the program:
ld either complains about __DYNAMIC or it complains about
_GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_ The __DYNAMIC is possible a FreeBSD issue which I
can find out about by looking at the source code for any staticly linked
executable in /bin. The _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_ seems to be a Forms thing.
I do have a question about how the forms library is build which pertains
to something that I've found in the bugs section of the man page:
BUGS
...
Cascading of shared object defeats the ``-Bstatic'' option.
which makes me ask the question how is the libforms.a library created for
FreeBSD? (Is it created in such a way that defeates shared libraries?)
