Description Helmut Jarausch 2009-09-15 10:56:26 UTC

Setting 
LDFLAGS=--as-needed
in /etc/make.conf

breaks

x11-drivers/ati-drivers-9.9 

since this packages mangles 
--as-needed
to
-fas-needed
which is unknown to gcc


Reproducible: Always

Comment 1 Enrico Tagliavini 2009-09-15 18:52:02 UTC

It should be LDFLAGS=-Wl,--as-needed

Here it works like a charm. I use --as-needed and other flags since gcc-4.3.2 is stable.

Indeed, you should use what Enrico put in comment #1 (with quotes, just to be safe).

Cheers
