Not all behavior changes are bugs. :) As mentioned before, the default in ld changed to --no-copy-dt-needed-entries for wheezy. > I'm pretty sure that it should be following the static-link model > for the .la files and > adding the shlibs dependants to the link step. Why would libtool follow the static-link model when linking to a DSO? See <http://bugs.debian.org/191425>. If you disagree with the reasoning mentioned in that bug and the bugs it is merged with, that would be a libtool (behavior or documentation) bug. If you disagree with --no-copy-dt-needed-entries being the default behavior for ld, I don't know what to tell you. Maybe you could install a wrapper that passes --copy-dt-needed-entries, though that won't help other Debian or Fedora users build your software. The rationale for the change is well documented elsewhere. Maybe binutils should gain a NEWS.Debian.gz file explaining this to help people upgrading. As for the original use case that motivates this: perhaps making /usr/lib/libtreedb.so a linker script would work for you. For example: /* GNU ld script */ INPUT(-llibtreedb-0.9-bare) INPUT(-lv3c-1.8) Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, and hope that helps.
