[gentoo-dev] Glibc builds and --as-needed

[gentoo-dev] Glibc builds and --as-needed

[Simon Strandman]

I'm curious why --as-needed is disabled for glibc builds. It was first 
added over a year ago in one of the early 2.3.4 builds so is it still 
nessecary?

I tried removing it and had no problems building glibc and I could see 
that it was used when looking at the compile output. Then I tried 
bootstraping from stage1 with --as-needed and neither my amd64 or x86 
has any problems completeing it. Perhaps this can be reconsidered?

Please file a bug.  It'll be much easier for us to keep track of that way.

Thanks,

I think it had something to do with breaking binutils 2.15.90 or
thereabouts.

Thanks,

yes, a lot of people had older binutils/gcc at the time so we force disabled 
it in both glibc/gcc so people would stop bitching

then we forgot about it
