e17 hold up by "FTBFS with binutils-gold"

[Mark-Willem Jansen <markwillem@hotmail.com>]

Dear All,

Recently the "FTBFS with binutils-gold" bugs have been raised to serious. These 
bugs are are related to the fact that --no-add-needed is the default behaviour of 
binutils-gold while linking. During the end of 2009 most of the bugs were filed to 
the DBTS. But doesn't the default behaviour of binutils now also include 
--no-add-needed?

If this is the case, then these "FTBFS with binutils-gold" can be closed when the 
package builds without FTBFS on the buildd system, right?


Regards,
