Why does appcert complain about applications which statically link only libc, libnsl, libsocket, etc, but not ones which statically link some other libraries like libXm?
Generally speaking, statically linking libraries is a bad idea, and is discouraged as a default practice in developing with Solaris. Statically linking libc, libnsl, or libsocket is a very bad idea, and is a major source of the stability problems we see with applications, hence appcert looks specifically for static linking of those libraries. In the future, appcert may check for others as well.
