Re: auto-pic or non-auto-pic

[Jack Carter <jcarter@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I thought the golden age of ia64 ELF ABI was to have only
PIC? The non-shared options were there only to get things
moving until dso's came on the scene.

We have dso support now so why are we still allowing non-shared
objects? If the first assumption I stated is correct then the
longer we tolerate the non-shared objects to proliferate then
the messier things will get in the future because archives
tend to linger around forever.
