Hmm, I can't reproduce this (amd64). Could you attach a complete build log and the config.log? I'm not a gcc expert but could it have something to do with the non standard C(XX)FLAGS?
> CFLAGS="-Wl,--as-needed -march=nocona -O2 -pipe -ftree-vectorize > -ftree-vectorizer-verbose=1" [...] > CXXFLAGS="-Wl,--as-needed -march=nocona -O2 -pipe -ftree-vectorize > -ftree-vectorizer-verbose=1" Please try again with something sane, like CFLAGS="-march=nocona -O2". Same for CXXFLAGS. It's probably an --as-needed bug[1]. [1] http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/qa/asneeded.xml
I worked around the problem by adding -fPIC to the LTCOMPILE definition in Makefile.in of the directories where .so were built (namely plugins/*), and it emerged and works with tree-vectorization and --as-needed linking. My guess, if it really compiles in settings without -fPIC in CFLAGS, is that some configure test fails because of the warnings raised during compile by the -Wl,--as-needed and/or -ftree-vectorizer-verbose=1 options. The compilation of scribus is too heavy to re-test, specially for the benefit of people that considers my CFLAGS "insane". I might consider retesting in the next upgrade, if it still fails. For the moment I got: $ ldd -u -r /usr/bin/scribus $ what I wanted.
closing invalid, we don't support cflags beyond -O2 and some selected ones (pipe, fomit-frame-pointer, nothing else I guess).
