Although embrace-9999 is a CVS-version this problem still obviously is not due to unstableness of embrace, since embrace compiles fine with LDFLAGS="" as well as LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1 -Wl,--sort-common". But when I try to build it with LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1 -Wl,--sort-common, -Wl,--as-needed" or LDFLAGS="-Wl,--as-needed", it fails with the following error: i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -I./include -I/usr/include -I/usr/include/enlightenment -DUSE_E_CONFIG_H -I/usr/include -O2 -march=athlon-tbird -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -Wl,-O1 -Wl,--as-needed -Wl,--sort-common -o embrace main.o -Wl,--export-dynamic -L/usr/lib -L/usr/X11R6/lib /usr/lib/libedb.so /usr/lib/libedje.so /usr/lib/libecore_config.so /usr/lib/libecore_ipc.so /usr/lib/libecore_con.so /usr/lib/libecore_file.so /usr/lib/libembryo.so ../src/lib/.libs/libembrace.a /usr/lib/libesmart_container.so /usr/lib/libesmart_draggies.so /usr/lib/libecore_evas.so /usr/lib/libesmart_trans_x11.so /usr/lib/libImlib2.so /usr/lib/libfreetype.so /usr/lib/libevas.so /usr/lib/libeet.so -lz /usr/lib/libjpeg.so /usr/lib/libfontconfig.so /usr/lib/libexpat.so /usr/lib/libecore.so /usr/lib/libecore_x.so -lXcursor -lXrender -lXp -lXinerama -lXrandr -lXss -lX11 -lXext /usr/lib/libecore_txt.so /usr/lib/libecore_job.so -lm /usr/lib/libltdl.so -ldl ../src/lib/.libs/libembrace.a(embrace.o): In function `open_edb': embrace.c:(.text+0x482): undefined reference to `e_db_flush' embrace.c:(.text+0x48a): undefined reference to `e_db_open_read' ../src/lib/.libs/libembrace.a(embrace.o): In function `embrace_init': embrace.c:(.text+0xb71): undefined reference to `e_db_close' embrace.c:(.text+0xc9c): undefined reference to `e_db_str_get' embrace.c:(.text+0xf19): undefined reference to `e_db_str_get' embrace.c:(.text+0x107c): undefined reference to `e_db_int_get' embrace.c:(.text+0x1129): undefined reference to `e_db_int_get' embrace.c:(.text+0x116b): undefined reference to `e_db_str_get' embrace.c:(.text+0x1281): undefined reference to `e_db_str_get' embrace.c:(.text+0x1300): undefined reference to `e_db_close' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status I found this strange, as it is clearly linked to edb (see ...-L/usr/X11R6/lib /usr/lib/libedb.so /usr/lib/libedje.so...). By the way, edb was compiled with --as-needed too. I didn't try binutils 2.16.92, though.

Thanks, but we are not fixing live cvs ebuilds. Please, report this bug upstream if you can reproduce this w/ binutils-2.16.92, preferably accompanied w/ a patch ;). https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-devel
