Thanks, that was helpful.

... Huh.  Rebuilding openssl_1.0.2d-1 with gcc-4.9 and using it to build
mumble_1.2.10-2 with g++-5, the result works fine.  So it seems it was
simply the switch to gcc-5 that changed this behavior.

On the one hand one could call this a regression since it breaks something
that worked before, and on the other hand it caught a bug in the code in
mumble that nobody knew it had.  This therefore leaves a question as to
whether to consider this is a bug or a feature of gcc-5.  Probably both.

I'm attaching patches for the changes I made to the package files (except
the debian/changelog entry simply to up the version number) in case someone
wants to repeat the test.
