Created attachment 55722 [details, diff]
patch for beep-media-player-0.9.7-r4.ebuild to filter --as-needed flags

[Comment 2 Tony Vroon (RETIRED) 2005-04-09 04:29:52 UTC]

We do not support of LDFLAGS.
If you want to use them, this is up to you, but flags that break packages will not be filtered at the ebuild level.

[Comment 3 Tony Vroon (RETIRED) 2005-04-09 04:30:40 UTC]

(Correction to first sentence; we do not support USE of LDFLAGS)
