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 173167 [details] Build log
Created attachment 174182 [details, diff] Makefile-as-needed.patch
Created attachment 174184 [details, diff] nitrogen-1.4.ebuild.patch that should solve the problem.
Committed updated ebuild and patch, but I can't exactly test it due to my current setup. Thanks for the help, Christian. I'll leave the bug open until it is properly tested.
successful tested on my amd64 desktop. upstream was also informed about this issue. so i'll close this bug.
