It was me, sorry for my not-so-good knowledge in libraries.
After further checking, it seems asc does not link against libspeex
itself at all, but libDSL_sound does.
In /usr/lib/libSDL_sound.la you can find the lines:
--
# Libraries that this one depends upon.
dependency_libs='
-L/usr/lib /usr/lib/libsmpeg.la /usr/lib/libSDL.la /usr/lib/libmikmod.la
-ldl /usr/lib/libvorbisfile.la /usr/lib/libvorbisenc.la /usr/lib/libvorbis.la /usr/lib/libogg.la /usr/lib/libspeex.la
-lm'
--

After localy rebuilding libdsl-sound, /usr/lib/libspeex.la is replaced
by -lspeex and now asc builds fine (even with gcc 4.3).
But before I reassign this bug to libdsl-sound, requesting a binNMU, I
would like to hear your oppinion on that - am I correct with thinking
libsdl-sound is buggy here?
