Description Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) gentoo-dev

I'm reporting this bug because the package in summary fails to build when forcing --as-needed on through spec files (check out http://blog.flameeyes.eu/2008/11/14/problems-and-mitigation-strategies-for-as-needed for details).

Check the attached build log.

Thanks,
Diego

Build fails against ghc-6.8, as it moved some functions from (common) 'base' package (library analogue) to (separate) 'containers' library. Similar with 'readline' package.

Fixed and pushed to the tree.
As it's not an --as-needed bug i'm removing links to it.

Thank you, Diego!
