Description d_dart 2014-01-03 18:44:29 UTC 
gnome-base/gdm-2.20.11-r1 doesn't compile on either of my x86_x64 machines. 

first build log is with vanilla, 
second build log is using LDFLAGS="/usr/lib64/libXau.so.6.0.0" emerge -v gdm

I dont know how to pass two things using LDFLAGS so I dont know if the problem is more complicated than this

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. try emerging said version of gdm
Actual Results:  
check build logs

Expected Results:  
Should have compiled

happens on my laptop with it already installed, and my new desktop where its not installed

Comment 3 Alexandre Rostovtsev (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2014-01-03 19:40:54 UTC 
Thanks for reporting! It looks like new versions of some of gdm-2.20's dependencies no longer add libXau and libm to their pkgconfig --libs list, so gdm needs to link to them explicitly.
Comment 4 Alexandre Rostovtsev (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2014-01-03 20:13:29 UTC 
Fixed without a revision bump.

Modern gdm-3.x versions are not affected by this issue.
