The last occurrence of  CLDWHOLEARCHIVE in tools/Makefile.in seems to be
dropped by this Alasdair's commit:

Author: Alasdair Kergon <agk at redhat.com>

Which seems to in somewhat history.

So this patch doesn't look like upstream related - rather some local 'gentoo'
cooking patch ?   Is gentoo doing their own build rules?

If the upstream still has any linking problem - please report problems/patches
against upstream CVS/git repository.
