Dear Maintainer, In Ubuntu, we use ld --as-needed by default in the toolchain, and you package fails to build from source with that option enabled because of the way libraries are linked. Even though Debian doesn't use ld --as-needed by default, it is a good idea to make this change so that (1) we don't have to maintain a delta and (2) you don't need to change anything in case Debian makes this default in the future. You can read more about this option here: https://wiki.debian.org/ToolChain/DSOLinking#Only_link_with_needed_libraries In Ubuntu, the attached patch was applied to achieve the following: * debian/rules: Change linking order to fix FTBFS with ld --as-needed. Thanks for considering the patch.
