Ok, i'll contact them.

When defining LDFLAGS as "-Wl,-z,defs -Wl,--as-needed" the package
doesn't build, i get a lot of errors related to undefined references,
similar to the issue reported at [1]. I didn't find a way to define
LIBRARIES_DEPEND_UPON properly in this case.

After adding gsdh_gnustep these notices are shown during the build
proccess:

readdir() attempted on invalid dirhandle CURFWDIR at /usr/bin/gsdh_gnustep line 131.
closedir() attempted on invalid dirhandle CURFWDIR at /usr/bin/gsdh_gnustep line 132.

Running lintian against the built package gives now the following error:

arch-dependent-file-in-usr-share ./usr/share/GNUstep/Frameworks/PostgreSQLEOAdaptor.framework/Versions/0/LoginPanel.bundle/LoginPanel

Any help is much appreciated, thanks,
Federico
