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).

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

It's only workaround. To properly fix it, instead of hardcoding libraries to Makefile.in, it would be better to clean build system and write simple Makefile.am
