Indeed. FEATURES=3Dunmerge-orphans is optional which is good, but I'm gl= ad=20 it's there. I've no idea what the default is as I've had that on ever=20 since I saw the changelog entry where it was introduced. That'd likely explain why I never had problems with lafilefixer tho. I'd= =20 guess the unmerge-orphans feature and lafilefixer appeared about the same= =20 time, at least for ~arch. Of course, I have FEATURES=3Dfixlafiles set too, so it'd be handled by=20 portage automatically now if I didn't have (PKG_)INSTALL_MASK=3D"*.la"=20 killing them but for libtool itself. --=20 Duncan - List replies preferred.
