How about: |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
-Wl,--as-needed has been added to the default profile's LDFLAGS. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
This option optimizes the linking process, only linking binaries to |
| 12 |
libraries that are trully needed. This way, fewer libraries are loaded |
| 13 |
at runtime and fewer packages need to be rebuilt on library updates. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
Setting LDFLAGS in your make.conf will override the default. In that |
| 16 |
case, if you want the new setting you have to either remove LDFLAGS, |
| 17 |
or append " -Wl,--as-needed" to it (sans the quotes) yourself. |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
To take advantage of the new default you can either rebuild world or |
| 20 |
allow the system to migrate slowly through updates. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
To disable the new default (not recommended) you can define your own |
| 23 |
LDFLAGS in make.conf. LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1" will suffice. |
| 24 |
|
