   Please excuse my asking about something that's not strictly Fortran the   
   language   
   but rather a very specific implementation. I figured this might be the place to   
   find someone knowledgeable about this.   
      
   I've tried out the flang-new component of llvm 18.1.6 recently, but stumbled   
   when building a shared library on RHEL 8 Linux: the library code from   
   libFortranRuntime.a and libFortranDecimal.a is always pulled into the shared   
   object. That probably is fine for a library intended to be used from other   
   language code as a plugin for e.g. Python but rather impractical for a library   
   meant to be used from a binary also built with flang-new. Besides adding   
   unnecessary code to the build that also sets up everything needed for a later   
   version conflict when the library built with an older version of flang-new is   
   used by a program built with a newer version.   
      
   I can't seem to make flang-new stop pulling its run-time library into the   
   shared   
   library, specifically the options -nostdlib and -nodefaultlibs seem to be   
   non-working for flang-new.   
      
   If anyone knows how to solve this problem, please give a hint.
