Hi,

I've got a question regarding the graphics/tiff port.

In the makefile for this port, there is the line
LDFLAGS+=	-lcompat

Now I've had a look at the source code, and I cannot see anything in 
there which would seem to require linking with libcompat.

Maybe I'm overlooking something, but if libcompat is indeed not needed 
by this port, I really would like to plead for removing of this line 
from graphics/tiff/Makefile.

Reason is that this -lcompat is being propagated via libtool into 
sane-backends, and from there into something I'm trying to port, where 
libcompat is causing me a world of grief (because it's causing 
regcomp/regexec to be linked from libcompat, and regfree from libc).

So, would it be possible to remove the -lcompat line from 
graphics/tiff/Makefile? Pretty please?


Best regards,
Daniel
