Public bug reported: On my 11.10 64bit box, I get this:
$ cups-config --ldflags -L/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu This library search path is default on the 64-bit system anyways. The negative effect is that this leads to my software build system (for samba) pulling in the libs that reside in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu too early. Specifically libtevent: current samba build has (and needs) a newer version of that library. Consequently, the symtem tevent library is linked (giving and error) instead of the built-in one. Arguably, this is also a bug in the samba-build system (that we will fix), in that the order of the -L<...> arguments to the gcc calls should be changed, but I still consider this listing of the default lib search path with -L wrong.
