Hi !

I just tested out my bin stage targets and found the following when 
running $PROGRAM//bin

gcc.link bin/§PROGRAM
common.copy bin/libX.a
common.copy bin/lm_new.o
common.copy bin/liblmgr.a

the bin stage is defined:

stage bin : $(TARGET) : <location>../bin : ;

Why are the additional files copied ? 
I'm building a static linked application where those files are 
incorporated anyway. And even for a dynamic build, at least the last 
files (flexlm)-specific, should not be copied, because shall always be 
linked static. (Security reasons ;-)))

And I think that at least on Unix (and using gcc) hardcode-dll-paths 
should be enough to avoid copying shared libraries around.

Or am I missing something here ?

Btw, is there any mechanism to invoke _all_ stage defined in sub-project 
which are normally build by using "build-project $SUBPROJECT" from 
top-level Jamfile ?

Yours,

Jürgen
