Bugzilla Bug 130737

the problem is not in evolution but in pilot-link test during configure, which
fails with as needed flag.


checking for pthread_create in -lpthread... yes
checking for regexec... yes
checking for GTKHTML... yes
checking for GNOME_PILOT... yes
checking if pilot-link handles UTF-8 conversions... no
configure: error: evolution requires pilot-link to have working UTF-8
conversion routines

relevant.

No filtering should be involved unless the linker segfaults, and even then, it
should be conditional on a working version of the linker (2.16.92 usually).

What is --as-needed?, and why have you not attached your config.log as it says
in the error message?

ok i posted the duplicate of this bug...
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=153041 ....but apparently i failed to do
a little more checking... now i am not pretending to understand what all is
happening here so keep that in mind.... but compiling pilot-link WITH the
ldflag --as-needed then REMOVING the flag and compiling evolution... the
evolution script sees pilot-link as being able to convert utf8 and compiles
normally. so from my limited know how evolution is where the break occurs.

there is a fix in bug #154453, it has also been reported upstream, please test
it.
