Re: trouble with autotools/berkeley db

    So you would pass them
    to ld from gcc command line using -Wl,-rpath-link.

Sure.  If you read the previous messages in the thread, you'll see
that's exactly what I am doing.

The pain is that gcc -R (without the -Wl) used to work, ever since the
inception of gcc, and was very useful and convenient.  By no longer
supporting it, many scripts and build procedures are broken.  At least
many of mine.

Not that anyone on this list can do anything about it, I was just going
into it because it seemed it might be relevant to the original poster's
problem.  (I already wrote to the gcc people about it, they are not
interested.)
