Tweak in LDFLAGS wasn't good enough. It doesn't change anything. marcus =

has found a way to hack in Evolution libtool to add '-Wl,--as-needed' an=
d  =

finally helps Evolution to start up a lot faster. You can see the  =

difference:

marcus has added it in bsd.gnome.mk called ltasneededhack in MC CVS. The=

evolution port in MC CVS is using it. It will be coming with GNOME 2.22.=


Just add a note to maintainers, if you want to use ltasneededhack. You  =

have to make sure about that you test throught in your port before you  =

commit it. It has caused Evolution plugins to show up bugs and marcus ha=
s  =

to add a patch in a plugin to make sure it doesn't use '-Wl,--as-needed'=
