Description Mikhail Zabaluev CLA 2005-01-12 18:19:22 EST 
The native libraries libpty.so and libspawner.so both link the openpty.o object
file. This results in all the code in openpty.o duplicated in the two DSOs. At
runtime, only one copy will be executed due to how dynamic symbol resolution works.

Would it be possible to link libspawner.so to libpty.so, so that the first uses
the symbols from openpty.o defined in the second, and get rid of the duplication?
