Description of problem: Libtool rearranges parameters, for example it puts -Wl,--whole-archive before all libraries (-l<lib>). See: http://pastebin.com/hGsa7taE - look for '-Wl,--whole-archive' string. First line contains how libtool was called, second what libtool actually executed. Is there any workaround for this?
Possible workaround is to add -Xlinker parameter to LDFLAGS, like: yelp_LDFLAGS = $(AM_LDFLAGS) -Xlinker '--whole-archive -lmozglue -lmemory -Wl,--no-whole-archive' Howerver before 'configure' script is launched LDFLAGS must be reset.
It is too late for RHEL6. It is actually upstream issue. Reported e.g. here: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/libtool/2015-09/msg00001.html Let's s it open against Fedora Rawhide.
This package has changed maintainer in Fedora. Reassigning to the new maintainer of this component.
Hi, is this still an issue? Seems like it does not bother anybody, or it is already resolved/workarounded ? Seems like upstream didn't respond for a long time...
This tracker probably does not have enough high priority to be investigated, as it is untouched for years already and does not seem to disturb any user. If you have any specific reason, why why should consider fixing this, please feel free to reopen this bug. Thank you.
