[pylucene-dev] Question about the MakeFile and static linking...

[Krys Wilken]

Hi list,

I am wondering why, when staticly linking gcj (in the linux 32-bit, gcj 3.4.x 
section), that the libstdc++.so.6 libgcc_s.so.1 are included in the 
LIB_INSTALL variable.

I know this makes them get installed, but why are they needed?  I have run the 
unit test with out those libraries being installed and they all pass (except 
the timing one, which did not pass anyway).  Am I just lucky that my distro's 
libs work, or are these files actually superfluous?

I am asking because I am building an RPM and I don't want it to have 
unnecessary files in it.

Anyway, I hope some one with more experience can clue me in.

Thanks in advance,
Krys
