[systemd-devel] Excessive linking of systemd-timestamp

[Daniel Drake]

Hi,

Running systemd-36 on Fedora 16.

$ ldd /lib/systemd/systemd-timestamp
	linux-gate.so.1 =>  (0x00a84000)
	libselinux.so.1 => /lib/libselinux.so.1 (0x0059c000)
	libcap.so.2 => /lib/libcap.so.2 (0x00901000)
	librt.so.1 => /lib/librt.so.1 (0x00a6a000)
	libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x00110000)
	/lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x009c1000)
	libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x00f09000)
	libattr.so.1 => /lib/libattr.so.1 (0x00f23000)
	libpthread.so.0 => /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0x007be000)


The excessive linking of this tiny application is challenging my
efforts to keep our initramfs slim for our embedded setup. dracut
includes this app in the initramfs by default, and to satisfy its
requirements it results in all those libraries getting added too.

Could this be reduced? I guess all it needs is libc.

Thanks,
Daniel
