So the returns are in, and buildfarm says: this is only broken on
Red Hat-based systems. How embarrassing :-(
It's evidently fixed in Fedora 7 and up, which means that only EOL'd
Fedora distributions are affected, but since RHEL 5 is affected I'm
still on the hook to fix it.
What I'm inclined to do is move the test for -Wl,--as-needed down till
after we've determined the readline dependent-libraries situation, and
then enable it only if we can still link readline with it on. So a
system with broken readline won't get the benefit. But the available
evidence says that there are too few such systems to justify a more
complicated solution.
Comments?
