I had to face it in code to workaround some cases already, it hadn't |
| 12 |
been a nice experience. |

Sadly that would be already partially fixed by as-needed, the problem is |
| 19 |
that libtool mangles also library search paths when using .la files and |
| 20 |
that breaks in a number of situations we have in some sort of normal |
| 21 |
uses of Gentoo. |

The patch to avoid the issues by omitting the usage of .la in case |
| 26 |
--shared is provided is easy enough and solves quite well the problems |
| 27 |
mentioned. |
