RE: Rebuilding Without Dependencies

[Chuck Wolber <chuckw quantumlinux com>]

You would think that would be the case. Alas, it's not even close. I have 
so thoroughly patched bzip2 out of the source code and Make infrastructure 
that the following command results in literally no hits referring to bzip2 
in any way shape or form:

find rpm-4.3.3/ -exec grep -i bz {} \;


The following are the only "-L" lines in the Makefile (after the 
./configure part is run):

LDFLAGS_NPTL = -L/usr/lib/nptl
LIBS = -lrt -lpthread  -L/usr/local/lib  -lz
staticLDFLAGS =  -all-static -L/usr/lib/npt


I also thought that perhaps it was a generic wildcard that libtool was 
picking up on. I can't see how though, there a ton of libraries in 
/usr/lib (the directory where libbz2 can be found) but it ignored almost 
all of them.
