While discussing static libraries in one of my previous posts, I commented that libm is provided as both dynamic library ( libm.so ) as well as static archive ( libm.a ).
Well, that is not true for Solaris anymore. Solaris 10 doesn't ship with a single static library.
Doing
ls -la |grep *.a
in /usr/lib where libraries are usually present returned no results. Tried in some more directories with same result.
I don't know when static libraries were dropped from Solaris. My guess is that it was Solaris 10, but any pointers to information would be welcome.

it was in solaris 10, yes, you can find out why in the solaris internals book
Thanks. Seems it has something to do with the merger of libthread library into libc.
