[LU-138] liblustreapi fails to link using --no-add-needed linkerflags

Fri, 22 Dec 2017 11:04:15 +0000

lustre currently fails to build using binutils-gold or by simply adding --no-add-needed to the linker flags.
To fix this is quite important for debian, as this will be the default behaviour of ld for the next release (wheezy).

A proposed patch for 1.8.5 is added to this bugreport (and needs to be ported to 2.x) (which I can do after having a look on review.whamcloud.com to see how this will work).
