Description Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-07-05 22:11:19 UTC
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).

Please note that this bug _might_ apply to -Wl,--as-needed in LDFLAGS as well; in both cases it should be fixed. Also, if this is due to the package in question not respecting user-defined LDFLAGS, you should get to fix that too.

Check the attached build log.

Thanks,
Diego

Fixed in cvs w/o rev bumping.

This problem is likely to appear in all packets that use sendmail's build system (e.g. milters). They use a confMTLDOPTS variable to add -lpthread to linker command line when the program is multi-threaded when in fact the correct option should have been called confMTLIBS.
