In Imlib2 1.4.6, currently in BLFS, the imlib2-config script has a
variable called @my_libs@, which is presumably supposed to be replaced by
something else during the build (in my system with Imlib2 1.4.5, it's
simply blank). However, in 1.4.6, the imlib2-config script is the only
reference to that variable - it is never replaced with anything. This
causes problems with any package that tries to link to Imlib2 using that
script (as I found out when trying to build Fluxbox), as it will cause the
literal string "@my_libs@" to be added to the compile command, resulting
in errors from GCC as it has no idea what "@my_libs@" is.
I'm not sure what the proper solution would be here - the fact that all
other references to that variable are gone probably means it shouldn't
exist at all anymore, but I can't be certain. As I said, in my build with
version 1.4.5 it ends up being empty anyway, so it might not hurt just to
remove it entirely, though I'd probably suggest just reverting the version
change and going back to 1.4.5 until a patch or new version is released.
