How are you checking whether your executable ended up linked with
something? If with ldd, note that it's recursive. AFAIU for example
"eu-readelf -d /path/to/something | grep NEEDED" shows a better picture
which is also mirrored in package dependencies.
Configuring geeqie with
%configure --enable-lirc LDFLAGS="-Wl,--as-needed"
...instead of plain %configure --enable-lirc in a F-15 mock test build I
just did from the devel branch dropped the number of shared libs listed
in the eu-readelf command above for /usr/bin/geeqie from 25 to 15, and
libpng* no longer appears in the resulting package's dependencies.
