Package: libtool
Version: 2.2.6a-4
Severity: normal
I tried to add --Wl,--as-needed to the library flags, but it seems that
libtool adds this option after the -l arguments and makes it useless (it must
stand before the libs and not after them).
Is there a workaround or can it be fixed in libtools? I saw different patches
which does that, but maybe there is a more elegant way to do it.
The actual problem is that `pkg-config --libs gtk+-x11-2.0` isn't really fine
grained and adds a lot of extra dependencies I don't use. --as-needed would be
a nice way to fix it for me.
