--- Comment #7 from Wojciech Pilorz <wpilorz at gmail.com>  2009-03-02 06:02:54 EDT ---
Is there any possibility that the mingw32 guidelines be changed
and static libraries be included (perhaps in separated packages *-static*.rpm)
rather than purged during build ?

I want static libraries because
I need to create a number of small tools running
on NT4 or XP machines and distributes over company 
WAN to several hundreds of servers, and I definitely
cannot make them depend of extra dlls.

Perhaps I am not the only one who would need mingw32* static libs.

Right now, to make standalone executable (not requiring any extra
dlls) with mingw32-gcc on Fedora10 which needs, say, just MD5 functions
from openssl, I need to recompile mingw32-openssl from source 
to get the static libraries.

If such change is possible, it would make mingw32* more usable 
out-of-the-box for me (and I would be happy to volunteer to make
patches for spec files of mingw32* if needed)
