Recently, because of the libpng upgrade fiasco that caused so many
people to pull their hair out with .la file problems, the main Gentoo
developers started having libtool compile things with '--as-needed',
which is generally a good thing.
However, I just recently started setting up a new machine with KDE 3
from the kde-sunset overlay, and ran into this build issue with akode:
Making all in akodeplay
make[3]: Entering directory

then mv -f ".deps/akodeplay.Tpo" ".deps/akodeplay.Po"; else rm
-f ".deps/akodeplay.Tpo"; exit 1; fi
/bin/sh ../../libtool --silent --tag=CXX --mode=link

make[3]: *** [akodeplay] Error 1
This is from a fairly fresh and up-to-date install of Gentoo that uses
GCC 4.4.3 as the system compiler, and it looks like libtool is doing the
new '--as-needed' thing, though I don't know if that's related to the
failure or not.
Has anyone else seen this? I don't know how to fix it, but it would be
good if we can keep the overlay able to compile KDE on a fresh machine
if needed. Let me know if you want me to try anything.
