+
+I think it's basically to do with .la files.
+
+Have a look at the link line immediately preceding this error and see
+what libraries it links against.
+
+Try to see if any of those libraries have .la files. If they do try to
+rebuild them with the .la files removed (the order of rebuild might
+matter) and then you should eventually get through it.
+
+This could be indirect fallout from me stripping out various .la files
+yesterday to get x11-server to build.
+
+Here is an example of a spec change needed to accomplish the removal of
+.la files:
+http://svnweb.mageia.org/packages/cauldron/libxaw/current/SPECS/libxaw.spec?r1=84858&r2=174151
+
+Hope that helps
