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

Looking into the package there seems not to be a serious test suite but only one file test.c which seems to be a relict of some testing experiments. I would recommend adding 'RESTRICT="test"' to the ebuild. The package does also not respect LDFLAGS. That must still be fixed.
Created attachment 204236 [details, diff] patch for ebuild to respect LDFLAGS and add RESTRICT=test Attached patch fixes the LDFLAGS problem.
+ 19 Dec 2009; Samuli Suominen <ssuominen@gentoo.org> grpn-1.1.2-r1.ebuild: + RESTRICT="test" and respect LDFLAGS wrt #277420, thanks to Diego E. + 'Flameeyes' Pettenò and Thomas Beierlein.
