We have a problem... our XVT/XM applications, when linked with
our Motif libraries are just over ONE MEG (!!!) each.

We are on Sun-4 sparc machines.  Is it possible to make these
libaries shared by compiling the source with "cc -bdynamic"
option?  I am not primarily interested in saving memory
(although that would be nice), but in saving disk space.

I don't have the source, but will be happy to buy it if we can
solve our disk space problem.  (anyone from OSF listening? :-)

If you don't have shared libraries, how do you handle these
big executables?

Please copy me by email if you follow up here, Our newsfeed
is occasionally "odd".

Thanks in advance,
Mark.
