[gnutls-dev]interlibrary dependencies

[Ivo Timmermans]

Hi Nikos,

For libgnutls-extra.so to be really useful, it would be nice to have
objdump -p /usr/lib/libgnutls-extra.so give the full list of
dependencies.  This makes at least automatic dependency generation for
Debian a lot easier, but it also tells ld.so which libraries it needs.

With the attached patch, it gives:

  NEEDED      libopencdk.so.0
  NEEDED      libgcrypt.so.1
  NEEDED      libgnutls.so.5
  NEEDED      libz.so.1
  NEEDED      libc.so.6

Without it's just:

  NEEDED      libz.so.1
  NEEDED      libc.so.6

Spot the difference.

However!  The attached patch requires you, Nikos, the one creating the
release tarballs, to have a libtool installed that can handle this
correctly.

I don't know what kind of system you use to create these releases, but
apparently the upstream maintainers of libtool didn't release a
version with this capability.

But for Debian, you can install libtool 1.4.2-7.1 or higher, for RedHat
this seems to be fixed 1.4.2-12.
