Description Stefan Sperling 2005-01-27 13:34:07 UTC

while compiling xlockmore, I saw the following message scroll by:

QA Notice: /usr/bin/xlock is setXid, dynamically linked and using lazy bindings.
This combination is generally discouraged. Try: CFLAGS='-Wl,-z,now' emerge xlockmore

Why not append-flags '-Wl,-z,now' by default?

your patch didn't apply cleanly to the most recent version, but i fixed the
problem in 5.17-r1

thanks for the info
