Re: Different linking behavior between g++ 4.5.2 and 4.6.1

[Manuel López-Ibáñez <lopezibanez at gmail dot com>]

Hi Andrew and Jonathan (cc: Ian and Matthias since they discussed this
issue recently),

Perhaps we should add a new entry to the FAQ at the wiki about this.
We have seen a few questions already in gcc-help, and it seems it is
going to be a frequent issue with the most recent major distros:

http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-help/2011-11/msg00132.html
https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2010-November/031991.html
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NattyNarwhal/ToolchainTransition
http://wiki.debian.org/ToolChain/DSOLinking#Onlylinkwithneededlibraries
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/ChangeInImplicitDSOLinking

I could add it myself, but I am not sure how to summarize the problem
and, in particular, it doesn't seem to me that "just use
--no-as-needed" is the correct answer.

Cheers,

Manuel.
