TBH, I'll need to look at it better to tell..

Comment 1 Pavel Raiskup 2014-10-30 13:58:33 UTC

Note, however, the 'libtool' script is part of usual project tarball and even
if we fixed this in libtool now (somehow), the fix must stay in Packaging
Guidelines way longer (almost forever).

Comment 2 Pavel Raiskup 2014-12-05 12:20:55 UTC

Note the upstream thread which seems to be ending up with final solution:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.libtool.general/8339/focus=8345

Sum-up:  Libtool is not able to detect what is the linker's path.

Also the so far unsuccessful attempts to fix ldconfig:
http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.glibc.alpha/13815
http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.glibc.alpha/19256

I filled a bug against redhat-rpm-config (see "Depends on" field) which
should help us with older libtools.

TBH, I am still afraid that it will take a very long time until we
manage to remove (or fix) the PG regarding RPATH.

Comment 3 Pavel Raiskup 2019-03-28 13:01:27 UTC

Gmane died in the meantime, so FTR the thread from comment #2 is also here:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/libtool/2014-12/msg00007.html

I proposed now slightly less-intrusive patch against redhat-rpm-config:

Comment 4 Fedora Admin user for bugzilla script actions 2021-07-01 15:31:40 UTC

This package has changed maintainer in Fedora. Reassigning to the new maintainer of this component.

Comment 5 mkulik 2021-11-10 10:39:48 UTC

Closing. Fix has been merge. It is available from version 145-1.
