If anyone reading this is interested/confused, I think the difference is: The --as-needed flag will link libraries if A) they define symbols required by object files B) those symbols are still undefined when the library is checked With the --as-needed option it is possible that libraries explicitly specified on the command line will not get linked. e.g. if I specify '--as-needed -l1 -l2' where the object files only require -l1 and -l1 depends on -l2, -l2 will not get linked. The default behaviour is (and afaik will remain) --no-as-needed. The new feature will link libraries explicitly passed on the command line, but will not automatically link dependencies. So if -l1 depends on -l2, I have to pass '-l1 -l2' to the command line. Having done so, however, I will then know that -l1 and -l2 will be linked. This is afaik, please feel free to correct me if I am mistaken :) -Charley -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
