[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#1105464: nthash: FTBFS with make --shuffle=reverse: make[4]: *** No rule to make target 'libnthash.a', needed by 'nthash_tests'. Stop.

Source: nthash
Version: 2.3.0+dfsg-3
Severity: minor

Hi,

GNU Make now has a --shuffle option that simulates non-deterministic ordering
of target prerequisites. See
https://trofi.github.io/posts/238-new-make-shuffle-mode.html and also previous
work in Debian by Santiago Vila:
https://people.debian.org/~sanvila/make-shuffle/

This package fails to build with make --shuffle=reverse.
This is likely to be caused by a missing dependency in
debian/rules or an upstream Makefile.

Relevant part (hopefully):
