You mean everything but paludis? Doesn't your grand plan include supporting Prefix and Interix with PE binaries and so on? I know projects that need to work around static initialization not being reliable - they only happen to have done that for other reasons (such as Windows PE format, iirc) years before --as-needed was implemented for binutils. Standards is one thing - reality is something quite different. The reality is that everything designed to work everywhere is just mighty happy with --as-needed and lots of benefits to gain from it. -- Mart Raudsepp Gentoo Developer Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Weblog: http://planet.gentoo.org/developers/leio -- gentoo-dev@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
