Re: Re: kde-sunset: new akode build problems

Hello,

I have actually seen this bug before and resolved it somehow (possibly
with USE=-akode), before --as-needed is being used.

It seemed to me like autotools bug, since it just did not resolve
dependecies right (libakode.so is not produced in time). When I build
libakode.la manually, it worked (I remember that the makefiles did
_not_ contained the libtool call to create it -- again seems to me
like automake bug).
