This "bug" is caused by an upstream modification in the libtool package on Debian system. The libtool "link_all_deplibs" flag is set to "no" by default on linux targets (AFAIK, other distros set it to "unknown"). The chosen solution is to detect such cases via the configure script and automagically patch the libtool.m4 by forcing the "link_all_deplibs" to "unknown". This fixup can be disabled with the appropriate configure flag: ./configure --disable-libtool-linkdep-fixup Sample configure output on affected systems: checking for occurence(s) of link_all_deplibs = no in ./config/libtool.m4... 3 configure: WARNING: the detected libtool will not link all dependencies, forcing link_all_deplibs = unknown Acked-by: Mathieu Desnoyers Signed-off-by: Christian Babeux Signed-off-by: David Goulet --- diff --git a/configure.ac b/configure.ac index 17e6b67e0..3a023cdcc 100644 --- a/configure.ac +++ b/configure.ac @@ -14,6 +14,31 @@ AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED([VERSION_DESCRIPTION], ["$version_description"], "") AC_CONFIG_HEADERS([include/config.h]) +AC_PROG_GREP +# libtool link_all_deplibs fixup.
