[Utnubu-maintainers] Bug#396762: /sbin/dmraid depends on /usr/lib/libz.so.1

[Steve Langasek]

tags 396762 patch
thanks

FWIW, here's a patch to only link zlib statically to dmraid while linking
dynamically to the other libs.

Since crc32 is the only function used from zlib, the size difference is
minimal.  On i386, here's the before:

$ du -sh debian/dmraid/sbin/dmraid 
160K    debian/dmraid/sbin/dmraid

and the after:

$ du -sh debian/dmraid/sbin/dmraid 
172K    debian/dmraid/sbin/dmraid

The patch is not suitable in its present form for platforms that don't use
the GNU linker, but those platforms suck anyway. ;)

Cheers,
