I'm reporting this bug because the package in summary fails to build when forcing --as-needed on through spec files (check out http://blog.flameeyes.eu/2008/11/14/problems-and-mitigation-strategies-for-as-needed for details). Check the attached build log. Thanks, Diego

This bug was reported against 1.2.96_beta, and there is now append-ldflags $(no-as-needed) in 1.2.96_beta-r2's ebuild. That's only a workaround. But we have also 2.0.95_beta in Portage which didn't fail here with forced asneeded, therefore this is fixed by 2.0.95_beta: + 01 Jul 2010; Samuli Suominen <ssuominen@gentoo.org> + speech-tools-1.2.96_beta-r2.ebuild, speech-tools-2.0.95_beta.ebuild: + Fix -Wl,--no-as-needed to $(no-as-needed) in -1.2.96_beta-r2.ebuild and + remove it entirely from -2.0.95_beta.ebuild wrt #246726.
