Hi,
First of all I ignore if the problem comes from brltty only, or from brltty
+ Ubuntu; anyway I posted this mail to both, Dave and Luke from the respective
accessibility lists (in BCC).
The facts now:

Hi,
I have a similar question than for the text-tables:
in the brltty.conf of Lenny there is a display called bs braillesense;
although this isn't present yet in the Ubuntu template of brltty.conf, shall
this display work with all distros or not?
I presume it will since both distros have 3.10 ?

I installed both.
This is my configure + make command, is this OK ?

After I added byacc and bison to my Debian, I was not only able to finish
compilation but to compile also 3.10 with such a much simple/shorter command

I'am absolutely not understanding what I should best do; I also haven't seen
any --whole-archive option in the --help of ./configure.
Maybe I better use 3.10 who will probably be good enough, waiting for the
things to get fixed in 4.1 I suppose?
