Bug#830136: libgcrypt20-dev: fails to static link libgcrypt20 due to missing -lgpg-error

[vvavrychuk]

Package: libgcrypt20-dev
Version: 1.6.3-2+deb8u1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I have found this when tried to static build qemu. Note that new version of qemu
has workaround for this

https://github.com/qemu/qemu/commit/91bfcdb01d4869aa8f4cb67007827de63b8c2217#diff-e2d5a00791bce9a01f99bc6fd613a39dR2314

To reproduce this compile file

    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <gcrypt.h>
    int main(void)
    {
        if (!gcry_check_version (GCRYPT_VERSION)) {
            printf("libgcrypt version mismatch\n");
            exit(1);
        }
        return 0;
    }

With command

    gcc main.c -static -g $(libgcrypt-config --cflags) $(libgcrypt-config --libs)

Then observe error https://gist.github.com/vvavrychuk/fabe8f8a8033e791f233d02f7946a979
