Linking problem while building mutt

Hiya

I'm trying to build a custom version of mutt, but even if I don't change anything in the PKGBUILD, I can't compile it on my machine. The problem is that somewhere during the build, the automake stuff generates this gcc command:

gcc  -Wall -pedantic -march=i686 -mtune=generic -O2 -pipe  -L/usr/lib -L/usr/lib -L/lib -o mutt  addrbook.o alias.o attach.o base64.o browser.o buffy.o color.o crypt.o cryptglue.o commands.o complete.o compose.o copy.o curs_lib.o curs_main.o date.o edit.o enter.o flags.o init.o filter.o from.o getdomain.o group.o handler.o hash.o hdrline.o headers.o help.o hook.o keymap.o main.o mbox.o menu.o mh.o mx.o pager.o parse.o pattern.o postpone.o query.o recvattach.o recvcmd.o rfc822.o rfc1524.o rfc2047.o rfc2231.o rfc3676.o score.o send.o sendlib.o signal.o sort.o status.o system.o thread.o charset.o history.o lib.o muttlib.o editmsg.o mbyte.o url.o ascii.o mutt_idna.o crypt-mod.o patchlist.o crypt-gpgme.o crypt-mod-pgp-gpgme.o crypt-mod-smime-gpgme.o pgp.o pgpinvoke.o pgpkey.o pgplib.o gnupgparse.o pgpmicalg.o pgppacket.o crypt-mod-pgp-classic.o smime.o crypt-mod-smime-classic.o resize.o dotlock.o pop.o pop_lib.o pop_auth.o smtp.o bcache.o account.o mutt_socket.o mutt_tunnel.o mutt_ssl.o mutt_sasl.o hcache.o md5.o  regex.o -Limap -limap -lslang -lm -lssl -lcrypto -lz -lsasl2 -lgdbm    -lgpgme -lgpg-error

As you can see, some of the linking switches are at the end of the command instead of in the middle with the other switches (thanks to Xilon for pointing this out) and this causes the linker to fail and the build process to abort.

Is this a problem with my installation or can someone reproduce this and/or provide a solution?

Re: Linking problem while building mutt

Can you post all the output of the build and especially the reason it fails?

I don't get it. Just tried it on a different arch machine and it builds without problems... wtf?!

Re: Linking problem while building mutt

how does your makepkg.conf look like ?

Re: Linking problem while building mutt

I'm using an unmodified makepkg.conf, just deleted the file and reinstalled the pacman package, didn't help
