When I will have the time, I will try to fix that without using bindnow-flags. jakub@gentoo.org 2008-02-23 12:25:39 0000 Well you can use append-ldflags "-Wl,-z,now" to silence the completely useless warning that's yet again flooding users for no reason. On a generic note, seriously when deprecating something it's be nice to provide a replacement unless/until the feature is totally unneeded - it's apparently needed here. Things like Bug 210837 Comment #13 with some cryptic notes that it "can be solved cleanly in the ldso itself" don't help at all. What's the replacement for bindnow-flags(), i.e. where's this fixed in toolchain? If nowhere (which pretty much seems to be the case), then we should stop deprecating something just because we can spit out some funky warnings. mrness@gentoo.org 2008-04-12 08:37:05 0000 Fixed in -r15 by replacing it with -Wl,--allow-shlib-undefined.
