+ <title>About libraries</title>
+
+ <para>In general, the LFS editors discourage building and installing static
+ libraries. The original purpose for most static libraries has been made
+ obsolete in a modern Linux system. In addition linking a static library
+ into a program can be detrimental. If an update to the library is needed
+ to remove a security problem, all programs that use the static library will
+ need to be relinked to the new library. Since the use of static libraries
+ is not always obvious, deciding which programs (and the procedures needed to
+ do the linking) may not even be known.</para>
+
+ <para>In the prcedures in Chapter 6, we remove or disable installation of
+ most static libraries. In a few cases, especially glibc and gcc, the use
+ of static libraries remains essential to the general package building
+ process. Usually this is done by passing a
+ <option>--disable-static</option> option to <command>configure</command>.
+ In other cases, alternate means are needed.</para>
+
+ <para>For a more complete discussion of libraries, see the discussion
+ <ulink url="&blfs-root;/view/&short-version;/introduction/libraries.html">
+ Libraries: Static or shared?</ulink> in the BLFS book.</para>
