Hi,

the attached patch removes lib/libjs_static.ajs from the output of
mozjs, a 30 MB static library.  This mozjs is part of the closure of
gdm and gnome, so it reduces the size of most desktop systems.

The reason why I found that file, is because it is mentionned in
BLFS: http://linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/svn/general/js68.html

Awesome! I figure that things seem to keep working without it?

At least gdm still builds, but I'm not sure how to test it properly

You could make a vm-image with %desktop-services, which uses GDM.

Thanks, that's a good idea. I managed to build a vm that way and
unfortunately gdm fails to start, so the static library must be used in
some way. I'm closing this without pushing anything.

Okay, but did it work without your patch?
