Bug 158024 – enable GNU_HASH by default in sys-devel/binutils

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Alexander Zubkov 2006-12-13 06:29:55 UTC]

I'm trying to rebuild my world with GNU_HASH info enabled in libraries/executables. I've installed sys-devel/binutils-2.17.50.0.8, added to make.conf:
CFLAGS="... -Wl,-O1,--hash-style=both"

Then I figured, that some packages do not use CFLAGS when making shared from .o, for example. I modified make.conf:
LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1,--hash-style=both"
CFLAGS="... ${LDFLAGS}"

But I found that some packages (iptables for ex.) replaces LDFLAGS and used EXT_LDFLAGS. I've added EXT_LDFLAGS.

Finally, I find out, that some ebuilds cuts CFLAGS using flag-o-matic.eclass. At this point I decided to patch binutils to use "--hash-style=both" by default.

I think that will be good to use it for all, because it doesn't breaks anything - just making files little bigger. But it will be easier to use GNU_HASH in gentoo with it.
