I guess as many are using it to pass --hash-style=gnu in addition to |
| 8 |
other things[1], an easy way to find out which don't honor it out of |
| 9 |
your installed packages is to scan for ELF files that contain the .hash |
| 10 |
ELF section in addition to .gnu.hash ELF section. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
Something through |
| 13 |
scanelf -q -k .hash <path> |
| 14 |
outputting anything or not could be used to determine if the section |
| 15 |
exists or not. I'm sure there are better ways. |

This doesn't work for packages that don't ship ELF files, but ld works |
| 18 |
on ELF files, so those that don't use ELF files shouldn't really care if |
| 19 |
LDFLAGS is honored or not... |

Maybe this gives some ideas to someone to write a proper QA script, or |
| 22 |
point us all to an already existing almighty script or tool that does |
| 23 |
just that. |
