Hello, 5.16 will not build (actually a testsuite failure) if LDFLAGS="-Wl,-z,relro -Wl,--as-needed" is set.
------------------------------------ make[4]: Entering directory `/tmp/AUTOGEN/autogen-5.16/autoopts/test' FAIL: alias.test [...] /usr/bin/ld: cannot find relro: No such file or directory [...] >rc-> cc_cmd=i486-linux-gnu-gcc -std=gnu99 -I/tmp/AUTOGEN/autogen-5.16 >-I/tmp/AUTOGEN/autogen-5.16/autoopts -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -g -O2 -fstack-protector >--param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -Wformat -Wall -DTEST_TEST_RC_OPTS >-I/tmp/AUTOGEN/autogen-5.16 -I/tmp/AUTOGEN/autogen-5.16/agen5 >-I/tmp/AUTOGEN/autogen-5.16/autoopts -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -o rc rc.c >/tmp/AUTOGEN/autogen-5.16/autoopts/.libs/libopts_la-libopts.o -Wl,-R >-Wl,-z,relro -Wl,--as-needed -lguile -lltdl -lgmp -lcrypt -lm -lltdl ------------------------------------ The reason for this is the addition of the option -Wl,-R to the command. AG_LDFLAGS is set to "-Wl,-R" by AG_TEST_LDFLAGS. This is not new, however autoopts/test/defs.in has changed, it previously overwrote the value of AG_LDFLAGS as passed by ./configure/automake but uses the value now. Afaiui the linker's -R option requires a filename as argument, therefore having -Wl,-R without argument in the linker line is a bug. cu andreas -- `What a good friend you are to him, Dr. Maturin.
