[Vm-dev] Unexpected external library dependencies on linux

Regarding the SSL I should add that

  1) I built the vm V5 using --disable-dynamicopenssl
  2) both configurations vm V4 and vm V5 work 

They work because in Squeak V4 and V5 I can send a message like :

  SqueakSSL google:'squeak'

and this works in both Squeak V4 and Squeak V5.

But I think the Squeak V4 executable which has no "ldd"
dependency on libssl is more logical; it is strange that the V5
executable has

bash-4.4$ ldd squeak | grep ssl
	libssl.so.1.0.0 =>	 /lib/64/libssl.so.1.0.0

which is different in V4.

Also for other libraries similar oddities :

in V5
bash-4.4$ ldd squeak | grep uuid        
	libuuid.so.1 =>	 /lib/64/libuuid.so.1

while in V4

bash-4.4$ ldd squeakvm | grep uuid

in the Squeak V4 (which is built with 'cmake') the only uuid reference
is in the module itself.

bash-4.4$ ldd so.UUIDPlugin 
	libuuid.so.1 =>	 /lib/libuuid.so.1

DAvid.
