Hi Ian,
Can you tell me why the check_needed function tests search_dirs_flag
before comparing filenames? In cases where the soname doesn't match, the
effect is to make a library specified as "-Lsomepath -lfoo" match, while
specifying the lib as "somepath/libfoo.so" doesn't match. Seems wrong to
me, but maybe I'm missing something.
Regards, Alan
