On all "affected" platforms, configure already adds -Wl,--as-needed, so the resulting library has exactly the same dependencies. Unless something references symbols from stdlib, but then it would just not link with clang anyway. ~ clang++ m.o -Wl,--as-needed && ldd a.out linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007ffeeb912000) libc.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 (0x00007f64050a7000) /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007f64052ad000) ~ clang m.o -Wl,--as-needed && ldd a.out linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007ffe1fb36000) libc.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 (0x00007f5e7a3c2000) /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007f5e7a5c8000) - Kacper _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-devel mailing list ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org https://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel To unsubscribe, visit link above, or email ffmpeg-devel-requ...@ffmpeg.org with subject "unsubscribe".
