From: hjl@nynexst.com (H.J. Lu) Date: Tue, 3 Oct 95 11:20:49 EDT >From my Solaris 2.3 linker manual, on page 12 regarding "Archive Processing", it says the link-editor will extract a relocatable object from an archive if it contains a data symbol definition that satisfies a common symbol definition. I think that makes sense. Maybe it has been changed in Solaris 2.4/2.5. The linker provided with the new beta solaris2.5 SUNWspro C4.0 gives the elf behavior you are expecting where only referenced objects get extracted from an archive, for what it's worth...
