[csw-maintainers] Problems with mapfile and linking

[Ben Walton]

Hi Jan,

Is autoconf detecting this properly for certain or just by
happenstance due to other requirements?  Is -lrt passed on the command
line that is trying to build transaction.o?  I wonder what the
configure environment is doing with regard to the new linker maps?
(It's likely doing the right thing but I haven't looked...)

I wonder if this is an ordering issue of the -l parameters and the
implicit -lc ?

And presumably that's a useful function for samba to use so disabling
it doesn't seem like the best option either.
