This is not about the feature itself but about the way it has been
implemented.
During builds LDFLAGS is modified so it contains a build path,
something like:
-Wl,-dT,/builddir/build/BUILD/.package_note-rubygem-nio4r-2.5.2-6.fc36.x86_64.ld
Many builds embed/store LDFLAGS somewhere. For OCaml it gets embedded
in the ocamlopt binary, and in *.cma files. Similar sort of thing
happening in Ruby, Perl, Haskell, Python, ...
Also R, which breaks R packages. Tom disabled this feature in the spec
for the time being.
But the problem is more general than this too. It also turns up in
some *.pc (pkgconf) files.
I think this change should be reverted until a cleaner way can be
found to implement it.
I agree. Switching to %extension_*flags has been proposed, as Python
does, but there was a system-wide change for that [1], and now we are
asked to switch everything to using this without pondering the
consequences because this change overlooked its consequences.
