Re: gnutls-2.2.0 - self link issue

[Simon Josefsson]

I tried to reproduce the problem, but couldn't.  This is on a debian
machine, with old gnutls in /usr/lib.  I unpacked gnutls-2.2.0 and ran
./configure && make.  The link command for libgnutls-extra.la was:

/bin/sh ../libtool --tag=CC   --mode=link gcc -std=gnu99 -g -O2 -D_REENTRANT 
-D_THREAD_SAFE -pipe -I/usr/local/include -g -O2 -D_REENTRANT -D_THREAD_SAFE 
-Wno-pointer-sign -no-undefined -L/usr/local/lib -lopencdk -L/usr/local/lib 
-lgcrypt -L/usr/local/lib -lgpg-error -lz -R/usr/local/lib   -version-info 
27:1:1  -Wl,--version-script=./libgnutls-extra.vers  -o libgnutls-extra.la 
-rpath /usr/local/lib gnutls_extra.lo gnutls_openpgp.lo gnutls_ia.lo 
openpgp/libgnutls_openpgp.la  ../lgl/liblgnu.la ../lib/libgnutls.la 
minilzo/libminilzo.la 

which resulted for libgnutls-extra.so in:

gcc -std=gnu99 -shared  .libs/gnutls_extra.o .libs/gnutls_openpgp.o 
.libs/gnutls_ia.o -Wl,--whole-archive openpgp/.libs/libgnutls_openpgp.a 
../lgl/.libs/liblgnu.a minilzo/.libs/libminilzo.a -Wl,--no-whole-archive  
-Wl,--rpath -Wl,/home/jas/src/gnutls-2.2.0/lib/.libs -Wl,--rpath 
-Wl,/usr/local/lib -L/usr/local/lib /usr/local/lib/libopencdk.so -lz 
/usr/local/lib/libgcrypt.so /usr/local/lib/libgpg-error.so 
../lib/.libs/libgnutls.so  -Wl,--version-script=./libgnutls-extra.vers 
-Wl,-soname -Wl,libgnutls-extra.so.26 -o .libs/libgnutls-extra.so.26.1.1

That looks correct to me.

There were some claims that libtool relinked the library during 'make
install', and indeed it does:

 /bin/sh ../libtool --mode=install /usr/bin/install -c  'libgnutls-extra.la' 
'/usr/local/lib/libgnutls-extra.la'
libtool: install: warning: relinking `libgnutls-extra.la'
(cd /home/jas/src/gnutls-2.2.0/libextra; /bin/sh ../libtool  --tag=CC 
--mode=relink gcc -std=gnu99 -g -O2 -D_REENTRANT -D_THREAD_SAFE -pipe 
-I/usr/local/include -g -O2 -D_REENTRANT -D_THREAD_SAFE -Wno-pointer-sign 
-no-undefined -L/usr/local/lib -lopencdk -L/usr/local/lib -lgcrypt 
-L/usr/local/lib -lgpg-error -lz -R/usr/local/lib -version-info 27:1:1 
-Wl,--version-script=./libgnutls-extra.vers -o libgnutls-extra.la -rpath 
/usr/local/lib gnutls_extra.lo gnutls_openpgp.lo gnutls_ia.lo 
openpgp/libgnutls_openpgp.la ../lgl/liblgnu.la ../lib/libgnutls.la 
minilzo/libminilzo.la )  

Which results in:

gcc -std=gnu99 -shared  .libs/gnutls_extra.o .libs/gnutls_openpgp.o 
.libs/gnutls_ia.o -Wl,--whole-archive openpgp/.libs/libgnutls_openpgp.a 
../lgl/.libs/liblgnu.a minilzo/.libs/libminilzo.a -Wl,--no-whole-archive  
-Wl,--rpath -Wl,/usr/local/lib -L/usr/local/lib -lopencdk -lz -lgcrypt 
-lgpg-error -lgnutls  -Wl,--version-script=./libgnutls-extra.vers -Wl,-soname 
-Wl,libgnutls-extra.so.26 -o .libs/libgnutls-extra.so.26.1.1

This also looks correct to me.

So, I cannot reproduce the problem.  I need a recipe to reproduce this
outside of the gentoo ebuild system to be able to debug this further.
