Can you provide a more complete pointer to this post? I'm afraid I don't know what you refer to.
Sorry; it was an obscure reference for a lisp mailing list. It discusses C/C++ linking issues, but many would still be relevant if OpenOffice were written in CL. http://people.redhat.com/drepper/dsohowto.pdf
Continuing OT, more recommended reading for people making build systems: http://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/Standard-Targets.html http://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/DESTDIR.html http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/manual/html_node/Introduction.html http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/manual/html_node/The-GNU-Build-System.h...
Again, there's not a 1-1 correspondence with CL, but the underlying usability issues are universal.
