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). Check the attached build log. Thanks, Diego

Created attachment 181836 [details, diff] Patch to address various QA issues in upstream Makefiles The upstream Makefile for gdavl did not respect user CFLAGS, did not use user LDFLAGS, and specified GTK+ libraries in CFLAGS, rather than LDFLAGS. The upstream Makefile for cdavl did not respect user CFLAGS. This patch fixes all those issues. For simplicity, the patch assumes the use of GTK+ 2. This assumption is valid on Gentoo, since the ebuild requires >=x11-libs/gtk+-2.6. This assumption may not hold for other distributions, or when submitted upstream.
