I suspect that upstream is not active any more.

I was hoping that this change which I turned into a quilt patch[7] would
solve the issue.  Unfortunately this does not help.  The file libsvm.cpp
is just compiled inside the resulting Makefile and thus the library is
lacking the respective symbols.  Patch [7] does not do the trick
unfortunately.

Any other hints?

Kind regards
