Hi
well I'm just now trying to install glibc2 libraries and noticed a problem
with the installation if "../configure --disable-static" configure option is specified.
the "make install" fails because the "sln" command is not properly built.
I disable static because of disk space limitations, are there any reasons I shouldn't,
other than the aforementioned problem?
possible changes???
1. don't install sln if static libs are disabled
2. build a working sln
3. use some machine resident substitute for sln
4. disable "--disable-static"
just my observation, hopefully I'm not doing anything wrong
Thanks

BTW:
any idea why "who" doesnt work if both login/passwd & who are all compiled
using glibc2...shouldn't these programs now be using the same constructs in utmp.
who - from sh-utils-1.16
login/passwd - from latest snap of shadow suite
