Also assumes that all packages are actually maintained. I guess the wording of the original request should have been more like "is anyone against QA fixing packages that ignore LDFLAGS?". Marius

The QA check which verifies that LDFLAGS are respected is now in Portage
trunk and will be released in 2.2_rc4. This check is enabled when LDFLAGS
contain "--hash-style=gnu" and "${PN}" != *-bin. Other binary packages
(e.g. net-www/netscape-flash) should set the QA_DT_HASH array/variable.
