RE: [microblaze-uclinux] Shared vs Static libraries?

John,

This probably isn't what you're running into but for my own uClinux
build I had the same issue with the image being outrageously large.
After some investigation it seemed like our load sharing server that I
was running the make on (open-mosix) had something to do with it. I
stopped job migration and I haven't had a problem since. I still don't
know if or why that helped but it did. So if you're building on a
cluster make sure the job won't migrate.

Subject: [microblaze-uclinux] Shared vs Static libraries?

Hi,
I just sucessfully compiled the kernel / image for the current uClinux
distribution. I wanted to have a pertty minimal setup, but after
compilation I discovered the image.bin was 8.8 Mb!! I looked and saw the
kernel was about 1.2Mb, while the user applications took up the rest. On
looking in the romfs/bin directory I saw all the executable files there
were about 200-500K! for example cat was 159K while the cat on my linux
machine is 19K !! so clearly there is something going wrong. My guess it
is is statically linking the programs. I did not do anything (to my
knowledfge) to turn this on - but I assume it would not be the default,
as space is a premium! Anyone got any ideas on what this could be?

Cheers
John
