Hello,

We're going to ship this patch with the Debian packages, and I think you are maybe interested in incorporating it upstream, otherwise our package fails to build in some circumstances (e.g. with gold linker, or when using --as-needed flags; both of which are common in Debian and Ubuntu).

http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=pkg-sdl/packages/sdl-ttf2.0.git;a=blob;f=debian/patches/link_libm_ftbfs_binutils-gold;h=c4340971fa55b6e0632c327e52b7ab6523a34716;hb=7fe2cd8851d9a68b855af29b708154c1d4327672

I don't think that you want to incorporate the patch as is, but well, you get the idea :-)

Regards.

Could you please try to take again a look at this patch?

Fixing it upstream should be straightforward and harmless and it would make easier for packagers to not have to carry the patch release after release.

Gentoo is going to apply this too, however adding "-lm" to LDFLAGS is not the way to go.
