  * d/p/no-ldflags-in-buildinfo.patch: don't record the build LDFLAGS in
    the X11 package ld-options. They were leaked to every reverse
    dependency, and the Ubuntu -Wl,-Bsymbolic-functions default overrides
    the -Bsymbolic GHC uses for shared objects, making Template Haskell
    links fail on amd64 with "relocation R_X86_64_PC32 ... recompile with
    -fPIC" (lp: #2169956)

+Description: Don't record the build LDFLAGS in the installed package ld-options
+ The ld-options of X11.buildinfo are registered in the package database and
+ used when linking every package depending on X11, including the temporary
+ shared objects GHC links to run Template Haskell. Recording the build
+ LDFLAGS there leaks distribution build flags such as -Wl,-Bsymbolic-functions
+ or -flto=auto to the reverse dependencies. -Bsymbolic-functions overrides
+ the -Bsymbolic GHC uses to link shared objects, so data symbols become
+ preemptible and the R_X86_64_PC32 relocations generated by the native code
+ generator for closures fail to link ("recompile with -fPIC").
+ The LDFLAGS are still used for building the library itself.
