Object libraries

Lower in the script you will find such lines :
# Do you want to update users libraries ? (yes/no)
# -------------------------------------
export ICS_UPDLIBS=yes
By default the object code in pack is compared to the archive object libraries. The missing libraries will be archived while the existing one may be rearchived if the list of object files in pack does not fit the content of the library, or if the library is older than an object file. You can skip this step completely by setting export ICS_UPDLIBS=no. Of course, doing this is unsecure because then your executables might be unstable. You should do this only to save time if you are absolutely sure that all your libraries are up to date.
