Firefox loadable binary components ("plugins") link against dynamic libraries at the moment. Firefox links against too many dynamic libraries, though, and I have noticed a nice performance increase from a mostly static build compiled with -mdynamic-no-pic.
Unfortunately, the static build breaks binary components since they no longer have dylibs to link against. Components still need string and other facilities now housed inside the static body of Firefox. Components also need to be compiled despite using undefined functions.
This seems like a regular "plugin" issue, solved many times by now. I can't figure out how to solve this, though. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance, Joel
