Subject: [gentoo-dev] Add --hash-style=gnu to LDFLAGS
Date: Sat, 07 Aug 2010 16:32:18

1 Hi there,
2
3 It seems like few of our fellow developers don't know how to track down
4 packages that don't respect LDFLAGS. Adding -Wl,--hash-style=gnu is a good way
5 to do that. I would like to see this linker flag enabled by default on LDFLAGS
6 (or at least for the dev/ profiles for now). Do you agree?
7
8 I would also like to know the procedures I should follow to make this default
9 on every profile as well. Do I need a council approval for that?
10
11 Enabling this by default we really help QA team to track down packages that
12 don't respect LDFLAGS (hence they don't respect either the --as-needed
13 option which was recenlty added to global LDFLAGS ).
14
15 Objections/thoughts on that?
