Hi, I'm mailing this to gentoo-dev, because I don't know the proper place to send this. Could someone please forward this to the right people? I'm also Cc'ing libtool upstream.
I came accross a package that failed to build on Debian amd64 where it tried to link the static library instead of the shared one. This seems to have been caused by a change to libtool, which seems to come from gentoo. The bug in the Debian bug tracking system for this is: http://bugs.debian.org/344662 The change in libtool.m4 seems to be: + # Find out which ABI we are using (multilib Linux x86_64 hack). + libsuff= + case "$host_cpu" in + x86_64*) + echo '[#]line __oline__ "configure"' > conftest.$ac_ext + if AC_TRY_EVAL(ac_compile); then + case `/usr/bin/file conftest.$ac_objext` in + *64-bit*) + libsuff=64 + ;; + esac + fi + rm -rf conftest* + ;; + *) + ;; + esac + sys_lib_dlsearch_path_spec="/lib${libsuff} /usr/lib${libsuff}" + sys_lib_search_path_spec="/lib${libsuff} /usr/lib${libsuff} /usr/local/lib${ libsuff}" I'm not really sure why this breaks anything though. My guess would be that you're removing paths it needs. PS: I'm not on the list, please CC me.
