(.text+0x3068): warning: Using 'getaddrinfo' in statically linked applications requires at runtime the shared libraries from the glibc version used for linking
But glibc is pretty standard, so I don't think this will be a problem for me. Thanks for the help.
You may have unexpected results. That warning occurs because some of glibc (namely, the getaddrinfo bit) is dynamically linked regardless of what you want; this is apparently to make NSS work, or something along those lines. However, if you then link the rest of glibc statically, you get dependencies between your program and the installed glibc, for internal, unstable APIs. (!) This is generally a Big No. Doing this means your program definitely won't be compatible with older versions of glibc, but it probably wouldn't be either way. However, in this case it also won't be compatible with *newer* versions of glibc. My recommendation would be to take glibc off the list of statically linked libraries. -- Svein Ove Aas
