What is the purpose of the no-as-needed variant? That name is not very good.
If `-Wl,--no-as-needed` needs to be passed on Linux and //not// on OS X, it should probably just go in a `platform linux` block instead of a variant. It should also be set using `configure.ldflags`, unless the configure script doesn’t correctly respect its environment.
I'm not sure we even need to support building on Linux. MacPorts does not currently run on it as far as I know.
Base does run on Linux; I think the pregenerated indexes are created on Linux. Building ports is an entirely different story, of course. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/40408#comment:8> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
