The ld behavior determines what libraries are actually required at runtime by a linked executable (or other library), i.e. the set of DT_NEEDED entries it gets. The rpmbuild auto-requires looks at DT_NEEDED. Regardless of the choices made at link time, rpmbuild correctly determines which libraries will be required at runtime. Anyway, if you are interested one way or another in --as-needed, let's start a separate thread about that and you can say why you want to discuss that subject. It is entirely separate from this F13 feature discussion. Thanks, Roland -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
