Outside of some extra time in emerging is there any reason *not* to add fixlafiles to FEATURES? I haven't found any problems with it and the time it takes when there are .la files to be fixed is very short. The make.conf man page says: fixlafiles Modifies .la files to not include other .la files and some other fixes (order of flags, duplicated entries, ...) YMMV ... -- Regards, Mick signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
