Can you explain why this: -Wl,--push-flags,--as-needed,-latomic,--pop-flags is better than -as-needed,-latomic I thought --as-needed on its own is sufficicent to avoid dpkg-shlibdeps warnings about unnecessary linking (because it only links the things that are needed), so I don't understand the need for the psuh/pop sequence (I must admit that I never knew that existed until your message recently). cheers Wookey -- Principal hats: Debian, Wookware http://wookware.org/
