Uhm. You're suggesting that the underlying issue is not a libtool |
12 |
problem? Or you're suggesting that as-needed fixes the libtool bug? |
13 |
Which basic fact that everyone discussing this should already know are |
14 |
you disputing? |

I expect people to do their homework and understand what we're |
22 |
discussing. Do you expect me to start every post by explain what a |
23 |
linker is? |

Fact: the underlying issue is a libtool bug. |
33 |
|
34 |
Fact: as-needed does not fix this bug. It attempts to work around it. |
35 |
|
36 |
Fact: as-needed breaks standard-compliant code. |
37 |
|
38 |
Fact: fixing the libtool bug would give all the benefits purportedly |
39 |
given by using as-needed, without the drawbacks. |

It's quite simple, and if there're any of the above that you didn't |
42 |
already know then why are you wasting everyone else's time discussing |
43 |
things in this thread without doing some basic research first? |
