Re: Static linking of Guile extensions

Hi Maxim,

You could patch Guile to link guile-readline/*.lo into libguile-2.2.la
(which would make it GPLv3+)

In addition, you’d need to remove

  (load-extension …)

from (ice-9 readline), and instead export ‘scm_init_readline’ to Scheme
using SCM_DEFINE, and have (ice-9 readline) call it.

A bit of hack, but something along these lines should work.
