Like I said, adding if/else/endif blocks to make the proposed libwrap/libadm/libnm/libperfstat linking depend on whether --enable-as-needed has been given (which defaults to off, like currently done for libcrypto/libsensors), should be pretty straightforward once we agree that's the way to go. May we interpret your vote as a "+1" for going this route, i.e. - disable the proposed linking changes by default (because you think it may not work on on some ancient platforms) - enable the proposed linking changes if --enable-as-needed is given (because it's the Right Thing and more convenient) ? We'd be at +3, then. Unfortunately I'll not have further time this weekend to do the necessary changes to the patch. Would anyone else be willing to do it (Wes? darix?)? I could offer to run build tests with the enhanced patch, then, at least. +Thomas -- Thomas Anders (thomas.anders at blue-cable.de) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
