[Debian-astro-maintainers] Bug#914485: funtools FTCBFS: wrongly calls mklib

Hi Ole,

thank you for fixing #882357. That made debugging funtools quite a bit
easier. I fear that the fix is insufficient though. When the mklib
script calls the linker and the linker fails, mklib reports success and
the build continues. That's unfortunate, but I'm not sure whether it
still violates the policy.

In any case, your fix enabled me to look at the actual cross compilation
issue. The Makefile.in passes CC and CXX to mklib. However, mklib does
not inspect those variables. Passing them is completely useless. Rather
it wants the compiler as a -linker flag. The attached patch fixes that
and thus makes funtools cross buildable. It does not fix the error
reporting in mklib. Please consider applying it.

Helmut
