The bindnow-flags function (as well as the previous -Wl,-z,now direct LDFLAG) is now deprecated. The correct way to fix this is directly in the loader and modern GLIBC systems have this fixed already.

Please get rid of bindnow-flags usage, thanks!

It looks like the bug is pending for 6 months already. It took me 30 seconds
to modify the ebuild and ldflags patch file. Is this package maintained by someone?

Comment 3 Volker Hemmann 2009-01-16 17:30:50 UTC

maybe severity should be changed - because this bugs prevents installing mailx - and is there any drop-in replacement?

Comment 4 Grzegorz Chwesewicz 2009-02-10 20:56:46 UTC

Changing line 26 in mailx-support-20060102-r1.ebuild from 'emake CC="$(tc-getCC)" || BINDNOW_FLAGS="$(bindnow-flags)" || die "emake failed"' to 
'emake CC="$(tc-getCC)" || die "emake failed"' fixes this issue.

Diego, can you set QAcanfix Inclusion keywords or commit the ebuild without bindnow-flags ?

Comment 8 DrChandra the Gentoo Person 2009-05-23 05:46:19 UTC

Removing the entire compile method from the ebuild works.

Comment 9 Nico Baggus 2009-06-15 13:43:19 UTC

and another hit during an emerge -e world.
