mhm, so at least ATM, it's most of the time static. would it be much of a 
problem to
build things both shared and static? also, is there a chance i'm able to 
install libc.a
and libc.so in a way that i never destroy anything on any system? is it wanted 
for
gnulib at all to install such scripts?

hah, lol - of course, suacomp should be shared wherever possible ;)
