Bug 131896 – sys-fs/e2fsprogs fails with LDFLAGS="-Wl,--as-needed"

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Hanno Böck 2006-05-01 06:15:56 UTC]

Only happens if e2fsprogs is not already installed.

To reproduce:
emerge -C e2fsprogs
LDFLAGS="-Wl,--as-needed" emerge --oneshot e2fsprogs

        CC blkid.c
        LD blkid
/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.1.0/../../../../i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: warning: libuuid.so.1, needed by ../lib/libblkid.so, not found (try using -rpath or -rpath-link)
../lib/libblkid.so: undefined reference to `uuid_unparse'
../lib/libblkid.so: undefined reference to `uuid_is_null'

This patch fixed it for me.

Maybe instead of patching this time this can be injected from ebuild, as -rpath-link is GNU ld specific (most likely) so this is going to break stuff on non-GNU linkers, so it's hardly suitable for upstream.

[Comment 3 SpanKY 2006-05-07 21:17:56 UTC]

fix it so it can be sent upstream then

[Comment 4 Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) 2006-05-07 21:30:08 UTC]

Good call, I'm not sure how it can be fixed to be sent upstream, I'd have to check the other linkers what they do.

It's a binutils bug: http://farragut.flameeyes.is-a-geek.org/articles/2006/06/04/summing-up-the-binutils-trouble
