Description Fabian Groffen gentoo-dev 2008-02-02 15:21:22 UTC
I had to drop
epatch "${FILESDIR}"/${PN}-1.5.23b-aixrtl.patch
from sys-devel/libtool-1.5.26.ebuild

(just wondered that libtool-1.5.26 is out)

This patched always enabled creating lib.so outside lib.a, independent of having '-brtl' in LDFLAGS.
But the problem is that I've not seen any kind of 'soname'-feature with lib.so.
This only is possible somehow with lib.so inside lib.a.

Because of this I've thought of dropping this patch, but keep runtime-linking (-brtl) enabled in ld-wrapper, as this also works with lib.so inside lib.a.

does this mean we can close this bug because dropping the patch matches your initial intentions to do so?
Comment 3 Michael Haubenwallner (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-02-04 15:14:53 UTC
Ok, lets do so, until it (hopefully not) turns out it doesn't work.
