Thanks Paolo. That's a nice feature to have. I.E. statically link the lib when not present on the system. It would be useful when one wanted to build a standalone sed for example on older or non linux systems, with the caveat that the binary would be a fair bit larger. I don't think we'll use this in coreutils for example due to the extra memory each util would use.
You mean you'd keep libunistring static or shared? If the latter, I agree that most coreutils should not need libunistring, but (after double checking this) IGNORE_UNUSED_LIBRARIES_CFLAGS should handle it. For the few that require it, libunistring would be shared between all programs using it so memory is not a very important issue.
