Interesting.
On 9.1 sysv
/bin/sh ./initmake /bin/sh "/bin/sh" "/bin/rm -f" "mv -f" "ln" \
"-lm -ldir -lx -lsocket -lnet -linet -lnsl_s -lnsl_i -lnsl -lsun -lgen
-lsockdns -ldl" \
"/lib /usr/lib /usr/local/lib" \
/dev/null "make" o \
"cc" "-O2 -march=native -fstack-clash-protection -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2
-fstack-protector-strong " "-s " "procmail lockfile formail mailstat" \
"procmail formail lockfile" \
"procmailrc procmailsc procmailex" "src man" \
"/usr/bin" \
"strip"
cc seems to work fine, using that as the C-compiler
...scanning for 13 libraries...
Added LDFLAGS= -lm -ldl -lc
[...]
(no other mentions)
I see that I do not normally build libnsl, and on 9.1 I certainly
didn't install it.
On 10.0-rc1 testing I see the same thing.
So I guess that any of those libs in the "-lm ..." string which are
in BLFS (some of them don't sound very linuxy) will be used if
available.
No objection.
