Title: --as-needed enabled in default profiles Author: Tomáš Chvátal <scarab...@gentoo.org> Content-type: text/plain Posted: 2010-07-26 Revision: 1 News-Item-Format: 1.0 Starting today all applications emerged on your system are linked together with additional LDFLAGS="-Wl,--as-needed". This option allows us to avoid linking extra libraries into the final binary improving startup times and more importantly making binaries more resistant to a library SONAME changes [1]. To gain the benefits of the change you should doublecheck your value of LDFLAGS in make.conf because the variable does not fold and your make.conf value is final. So after checking it and potentially removing we suggest rebuilding whole system to benefit from it. Overriding the in-profiles value is quite simple as described by previous paragraph. Just put simply LDFLAGS="-Wl,01" in make.conf. [1] http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/qa/asneeded.xml
