Dear Matthias, thank you for your patch. I do not know that to do with it since I have difficulties to understand the context. It is a patch for Ubuntu but it is usertagged with the Debian GCC's team email. I have a couple of questions, and since some of them may be of general interst, I am copying debian-devel. - Is there a timeline in which the package in Debian will stop to build from source if the patch is not applied ? - I do not understand what problem the patch solves when reordering ‘-lm -lz -L.. -lbam’ to ’-L.. -lbam -lm -lz’. It seems that it is related to the use of --as-needed. Is there a general explanation somewhere, that I can use when forwarding the patch upstream ? - Does such a change represents some best practice that we should put forward for our uptreams to be aware of, for instance in http://wiki.debian.org/UpstreamGuide ?
