[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#628834: dbus: FTBFS on at least mips, mipsel, armhf: ld segfaults

[Simon McVittie]

Source: dbus
Version: 1.4.10-1
Severity: serious
Justification: fails to build from source

My recent upload of dbus uses hardening-includes to choose compiler options,
which I'd hoped would use appropriate runes to turn off bits of hardening
on architectures with broken toolchains. However, some architectures still
seem unhappy. Filing this bug to indicate that I'm aware of it.

dbus upstream uses -Wl,--gc-sections -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections
for some reason; that might be part of the problem.

The buildd logs aren't as informative as they could be, because I forgot
to disable "silent rules" (already fixed in git for the next upload).
This can be worked around by passing "V=1" to make.
