looks like we've managed to merge 4 or 5 independent attempts at fixing the relink issue with libtool http://sources.gentoo.org/eclass/ELT-patches/cross/ http://sources.gentoo.org/eclass/ELT-patches/fix-relink/ http://sources.gentoo.org/eclass/ELT-patches/hardcode-relink/ http://sources.gentoo.org/eclass/ELT-patches/relink/ http://sources.gentoo.org/eclass/ELT-patches/relink-prog/ i'd like to unify these efforts into one location. the only sticker is that we have to document how we're actually trying to fix things. seems like we fundamentally are trying to fix two things: - search the install paths first (i.e. -L$DESTDIR$libdir), and then fallback to the system path (i.e. -L$libdir) - don't always use the host system path when cross-compiling/building multilib (i.e. -L/usr/lib is bad) anything else we need to worry about ?
Prefix has no business in here, I think.
Is this still relevant?
