Re: wget2 | build: Fix the build with slibtool (!498)

Tim Rühsen commented:


The commit `build: Use -Wl,--no-whole-archive` has no effect (all objects from 
gnulib.a are still linked into the shared libraries). There is no way to tell 
libtool *not* to wrap libgnu.a into `-Wl,--whole-archive` / 
`-Wl,--no-whole-archive`, except patching libtool (I checked the libtool source 
code to find this out).

There is a ugly work-around, adding 
`-Wl,--no-whole-archive,../lib/.libs/libgnu.a` to `..._la_LDFLAGS`.
But I don't think this is a) portable and b) supported by slibtool (as `.libs/` 
is private to libtool).

Any other ideas how to shrink the size of the shared libraries (it is roughly a 
factor of 10 for the smaller libraries (1M -> 100k with debug symbols), so IMO 
worth considering) ?
