Understanding proposed changes to ld

Basics

The default behaviour for ld currently defaults to using the --add-needed flag. The proposed change would force the use of its complement, --no-add-needed.

What's the difference?

With the proposed change in place, ld will no longer skip linking needed libraries by default.

Testing eclipse-cdt on F-12

Setup

1. Use fedora-cvs eclipse-cdt to grab a copy of the CDT from fedora's CVS
2. In the F-12 folder, cat eclipse-cdt.spec | grep define\ build_id and note the build_id (e.g. v200906161748)
3. In an Eclipse install, open up the CVS repository and paste :pserver:anonymous@dev.eclipse.org:/cvsroot/tools into the location
4. Under HEAD, go to org.eclipse.cdt, go into the all folder and right click the packages there. Select Checkout As, then click Next until you get to the final screen. In the Tag box, type the build id. This will start searching for the tag, select it and click Finish

The following tests have failures, but they fluctuate

1. org.eclipse.cdt.core.parser.tests.rewrite.changegenerator --> ChangeGeneratorTestSuite: 43 | 0 | 16
2. org.eclipse.cdt.core.parser.tests.rewrite.changegenerator.append --> TestSuite: 9 | 0 | 1
3. org.eclipse.cdt.core.parser.tests.rewrite.changegenerator.insertbefore --> InsertBeforeTestSuite 8 | 0 | 3
4. org.eclipse.cdt.core.parser.tests.rewrite.changegenerator.remove --> RemoveTestSuite 13 | 0 | 4
5. org.eclipse.cdt.core.parser.tests.rewrite.changegenerator.replace --> ReplaceTestSuite 13 | 0 | 5

Number of failures varies -- tests pass if you run them directly, but fail otherwise.

org.eclipse.cdt.debug.ui.tests

1. org.eclipse.cdt.debug.testplugin.util --> ExpectedStringsTests: 4 | 0 | 0
2. org.eclipse.cdt.debug.core.tests --> AllDebugTests 12 | 0 | 0

org.eclipse.cdt.make.core.tests

1. org.eclipse.cdt.make.builder.tests --> both tests pass
2. org.eclipse.cdt.make.core.tests --> AutomatedIntegrationSuite 25 | 0 | 1
