Source: libvcflib
Version: 1.0.0~rc1+dfsg-1
Severity: serious

Justification: FTBFS on amd64

Hi,

During a rebuild of all packages in sid, your package failed to build on
amd64.

Relevant part (hopefully):
> /usr/bin/ld: src/split.o: relocation R_X86_64_32 against `.rodata._Z8tokenizeISt6vectorINSt7__cxx1112basic_stringIcSt11char_traitsIcESaIcEEESaIS6_EEEvRKS6_RT_SA_b.str1.8' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC

The full build log is available from:

About the archive rebuild: The rebuild was done on EC2 VM instances from
Amazon Web Services, using a clean, minimal and up-to-date chroot. Every
failed build was retried once to eliminate random failures.
