Bug#555176: FTBFS with binutils-gold

[Peter Fritzsche]

Source: libffado
Version: 2.0~rc2+svn1569-2
Severity: minor
User: peter.fritzsche at gmx.de
Usertags: no-add-needed

Tried to build your package and it fails to build with GNU binutils-gold. The
important difference is that --no-add-needed is the default behavior of of GNU
binutils-gold. Please provide all needed libraries to the linker when building
your executables.

It is propably better in your case that libffado.so gets linked against the
needed libraries to fix that problem. You can use --no-undefined (or respective
-Wl,--no-undefined when linking with g++ or gcc) to check your libraries
if they still have symbols which doesn't get resolved by them.

dpkg-shlibdeps will also print warnings about unresolved symbols when it gets
run in your debian/rules.
