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

If fixed this pkg for asneeded before but in a very lazy way. I need to apply a pkgconfig stuff into configure.ac for it to pick it up for the Makefile.am , because it depends on which lib it needs to link -lcucul or -lcaca depending on libcaca version Please don't remove this pkg, i'll fix it..
I didn't CC treecleaners here ^^; I was going to fix it myself later in case.
