Perhaps they have an embedded timestamp or version number?

Are you going to be compiling anything?

Has anyone compared performance of static vs dynamic linking
lately?
IIRC dynamic linking has a runtime performance hit which may
or may not
be significant depending on what you're doing.

This seems to be the case:

# strings DIR1/usr/lib/libfetch.a > tmp1
# strings DIR2/usr/lib/libfetch.a > tmp2
# diff tmp1 tmp2

The changing number is the modification date of the .o file
(I think).

I'm compiling ports, but I could delete the files
afterwards. It would 
be nice to be able to compile stuff in the images in the
future, though.

I think I'll just leave the files there for the time being.
It's a size 
reduction of less than 1 MB.
