Bug 106760 – Courier-authlib 0.55 emerge fails with a ld error on libauthmysql.la

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Jerome Brown 2005-09-21 00:47:10 UTC]

When emerging courier-authlib with the mysql USE flag set, it fails with ld:
unrecognized option '-Wl'

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. USE="mysql" emerge =net-libs/courier-authlib-0.55

Actual Results:  
Linking libcourierauth.la
config.status: creating authlib.3
config.status: executing depfiles commands
Linking libcourierauthsasl.la
Linking libcourierauthsaslclient.la
Linking libcourierauthcommon.la
Linking courierauthconfig
Linking authmksock
Linking authtest
Linking authenumerate
Linking libauthuserdb.la
Linking libauthpam.la
Linking libauthshadow.la
Linking libauthmysql.la
Linking libauthcustom.la
/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.4/../../../../i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld:
unrecognized option '-Wl'
/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.4/../../../../i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: use
the --help option for usage information
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: *** [libauthmysql.la] Error 1
make[2]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

make[1]: Leaving directory

make: *** [all] Error 2

I have tried with and without LDFLAGS being set, and I still get the same error.
I cannot see where else these flags may be set.

I have also tried with both GCC 3.4.4 and GCC 3.4.3-20050110-r2

I have tried Googling for a solution - the best help I can get is that it gcc
should strip the Wl flag before passing control to ld which is why it fails, as
it does not understand the flag. I don't know enough to say if this is the case
or not.

Expected Results:  
libauthmysql.la should have linked correctly, and the emerge should have completed.
