Package: binutils
Version: 2.16.1-2
Severity: important
Hi,
The linker flag "--as-needed" is borken on some arches and causes build
failures. This is currently used to reduce shlibs deps in a lot of
packages in GNOME (~40), and removing it would:
- cause 40 uploads and a lot of work,
- mean relibtoolizing for all new upstream releases.
I've posted about this issue on debian-devel:
<http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2005/07/msg01067.html>
You can find a sample FTBFS in #319162.
Ubuntu is tracking this issue at:
<https://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=12822>
this also has a test case.
At least sparc and alpha are affected.
Please tell me where to send this upstream.
Bye,
