However, the downside is that\n> sizes will bloat under statically linked conditions. Additionally,\n> some environments allow library constructors as code which executes\n> before the main executable which would run even for utilities that\n> don't need them.\n>\n> Split the most common code into a separate library that can be used\n> by the ovsdb, appctl, and the openflow + datapath code that gets\n> used by the ofctl, vsctl, dpctl, and vswitchd executables. Future\n> work could try to split this even further (although, the dependency\n> split in the ofp area might be difficult to untangle).\n>\n> Co-authored-by: Aaron Conole \n> Signed-off-by: Aaron Conole \n> Signed-off-by: Timothy Redaelli \n> ---\n\nGithub Robot had an issue with the push;
