Fabrice: Why do you think that oprofile should link libbfd dynamically?
- The binutils-dev description is clear that you shouldn't do link dynamically
- Linking dynamically is an Ubuntu-specific patch (that lacks any helpful explanation of why it's there)
- This package has now broken repeatedly due to libbfd upgrades
From my perspective, all signs are pointing towards linking statically, and I can't come up with any justification for why we should be linking dynamically.
