Actually, I kinda don't have that option. I still seriously don't understand what this is about. Your bug was not a bug. Period. If you think the man page is wrong, then file a report upstream. The bug tracker is not a forum where we can talk about our feelings or how to link to certain libraries. It is for Arch Linux bugs.
