> they're all broken for static linking as long as static linking is broken in this way. The main app I work on links against - Qt - LLVM - libclang - ffmpeg - my app which is itself ~40 libs - a dozen others which combined account for multiple hundreds of static libraries on Linux, Mac and Windows and things just work. I could maybe bog my head against theoretical link-time problems which I don't experience or make things better for my end-users and just target_link_libraries(myapp Qt::Core), what do you think is the reasonable option ?
