Could you expand a bit on how static linking would cause either of those things? It seems to me that they are both consequences of dynamic linking.
- kbenson 9y agoI think "the argument" being referred to was the push for dynamic linking, and the consequences in question are for dynamic linking. I think there was just a somewhat unclear implicit shift in the subject.
