Description Josh Nichols (RETIRED) gentoo-dev

2006-04-09 20:45:29 UTC

This bug is to track packages which bugs that crop up related to --as-needed. Information about --as-needed can be found at:

http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/qa/asneeded.xml

Comment 1 Gabriel Devenyi 2006-04-16 16:31:59 UTC

Please add depends on bug #130199

Comment 2 MT 2006-07-09 07:05:34 UTC

please add depends on http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=113975

Comment 3 Robert Marmorstein 2006-07-12 21:42:42 UTC

Please add "depends on <A HREF="http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=140179">bug #140179</A>

Comment 4 Mark Loeser (RETIRED) gentoo-dev

2008-01-25 03:15:15 UTC

There is no QA policy anywhere about this.  Its probably a nice thing to fix, but nothing QA is going to be actively pursuing right now.  I'm reassigning this to flameeyes since he was the one that published that document under QA's space on gentoo.org.

Comment 5 Hong Hao 2008-07-20 08:24:27 UTC

Please add depends on bug #232416

Comment 6 Nico R. 2008-10-27 12:08:58 UTC

This bug should also depend on bug 244547.

Comment 7 Mart Raudsepp gentoo-dev

2008-11-21 02:08:12 UTC

Please use a different tracker bug for --as-needed breakages when forced on with gcc spec files stuff, that don't break with LDFLAGS set in make.conf or otherwise.
Then this tracker can show if a user enabling it in LDFLAGS is safe or not, while the other shows what needs fixing before a spec file based approach is viable if that is desired and what could use some fixing to honor LDFLAGS more.

This tracker is filled with too many bugs already, so as this is a different case, I think different trackers would make perfect sense and sanity, while the council discussion in #234710 can be made to be blocked by this and the other proposed tracker when a spec file based approach is decided to be preferred for a global scope enabling. (and no, I don't agree with that approach as to my knowledge it affects out-of-portage gcc usage as well)

Comment 8 Mark Loeser (RETIRED) gentoo-dev

2008-11-24 16:37:21 UTC

Please keep everything that fails with as-needed on this tracker.  If we want to break it up later, we can, but I'd rather have one place to find every single thing that fails when built with as-needed (be it via LDFLAGS, or forced if necessary).

Thanks,

Mark

Comment 9 David J Cozatt 2010-10-06 21:56:57 UTC

I believe bug #337788 should be added. sys-devel/gcc-4.4.4-r2 no respect for LDFLAGS

Comment 10 Jeroen Roovers (RETIRED) gentoo-dev

2010-10-11 20:09:08 UTC

(In reply to comment #9)

> LDFLAGS

Failing with --as-needed is not the same as disrespecting LDFLAGS.

Comment 11 Vadim Petryaev 2011-04-09 10:19:06 UTC

I thinks, this bug depend to http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=362685

Comment 12 Brian Modra 2012-06-11 07:50:12 UTC
