Description Arjan van de Ven 2005-01-07 11:44:01 UTC 
Description of problem:

# pkg-config --libs gtk+-2.0
-Wl,--export-dynamic -lgtk-x11-2.0 -lgdk-x11-2.0 -latk-1.0
-lgdk_pixbuf-2.0 -lm -lpangoxft-1.0 -lpangox-1.0 -lpango-1.0
-lgobject-2.0 -lgmodule-2.0 -ldl -lglib-2.0

this --export-dynamic is caused by
/usr/lib64/pkgconfig/gmodule-2.0.pc

the ripple-through is that most of our desktop is using
export-dynamic, causing lots of load time overhead and disk usage
Comment 1 Matthias Clasen 2005-01-07 14:50:07 UTC 
This has been fixed upstream in glib 2.6 by introducing
gmodule-no-export-2.0.pc, and using it at least in pango and gtk.
