Package: weechat
Severity: normal

Weechat does not work on GNU/Hurd because of linking problems. The
weechat-curses binary is not linked against libpthread, whereas
libpython.so is. This leads to libc being loaded before libpthread,
which triggers a fatal assertion, as explained in
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2005-05/msg00061.html>.

The bug is easily corrected by linking weechat-curses against 
libpthread before libc. As a simple workaround, 
LDFLAGS="-lpthread" ./configure works, but adding in in a 
Makefile.am or configure.in would be a cleaner way.
