build: Remove -Wl,-z,defs (904 bytes, patch)

Description Antoine Jacoutot 2014-04-02 07:01:21 UTC 
Hi.

By default rygel builds the plugins with:
RYGEL_PLUGIN_LINKER_FLAGS="-module -avoid-version -Wl,-z,defs"

This fails on OpenBSD with:
<...>
undefined reference to `__stack_smash_handler'
undefined reference to `strerror'
undefined reference to `lseek'

On OpenBSD, shared libs and modules are not linked to libc and so -Wl,-z,defs will trigger these undefined references. Is there any reason we must use this flag? I could always send a patch to make it conditional on OpenBSD but I wanted the developers though first :-)

Thank you.

Hi.

Any opinion or can I cook a patch to drop -Wl,-z,defs ?
