Kevin_Kofler thanks for raising the issue to revert
ChangeInImplicitDSOLinking feature. But, its unfortunate to see FESCo
continue it approved. Anyway please someone take care my fontmatrix
package. I will still say
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/UnderstandingDSOLinkChange contains
insufficient information. Don't ask what to add as I see in my iok
package case I was suggested to change configure.in which was not
mentioned there.
In the example on
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/UnderstandingDSOLinkChange,  its
written that "To fix, add -lrpmio to the gcc command for any binaries
that use librpmio." So What's wrong if I modify CFLAGS in iok.spec and
build log can show its added to gcc command and build got successful?

Parag.
