Description Benda Xu gentoo-dev

As in debian bug 653457, libicudata.so does not link to anything, which confuses arm hardfloat run time linker.

A trick to deal with this is to link libicudata.so to libc.

Suggested patch is included for review. If there is not objection, I am going to apply the patch in a week. Thanks.

Reproducible: Always

You should fix arm hardfloat run time linker.

libicudata.so does not use anything from libc.

This is actually fixed in main tree from what I can see in 50.1.* ebuilds.

    # Fix linking of icudata
    sed -i \
        -e "s:LDFLAGSICUDT=-nodefaultlibs -nostdlib:LDFLAGSICUDT=:" \
        config/mh-linux || die


Also please as you are developer, assign your bugs properly or wait for wranglers to do it for you.

My fault. I have looked at the old ebuild and metadata in Prefix tree. This bug should be assigned to prefix team and especially me. I will come up with an up-to-date patch soon.
