[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#625162: embassy-domainatrix: FTBFS: configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables

[Andreas Tille]

Hi Steffen.

I'm not convinced that simply waiting for a new upstream is the proper
strategy to solve this problem.  It might be that upstream will release
with gcc-4.5 buildable code and is not aware of the problem.  The
minimum to do is to foreward it upstream - in some cases a fix is not
that hard to find and can help making Debian regarded as very helpful.

Kind regards

        Andreas.

PS: For last-align the fix was quite cheap and I'll foreward it.
    Currently the upload is not possible because help2man fails to
    install.
