    <thetext>By the default the gcc linker will automatically link any dependant objects/libraries.

&quot;Inherited&quot; linkages can cause issues, for example, where a shared object changes its dependencies but a program has come to rely on symbols from an implicitly linked library.

Fedora 13 adopted explicit link requirements and have some deeper explanation of the matter:
