[DSE-Dev] Bug#955154: libsepol FTBFS with gcc-10/-fno-commons

[Helmut Grohne]

Source: libsepol
Version: 3.0-1
Severity: important
Tags: ftbfs patch upstream fixed-upstream
User: helmutg at debian.org
Usertags: rebootstrap

libsepol fails to build from source when enabling -fno-commons as is
done by gcc-10. In order to fix the issue, two commits are needed:

https://github.com/SELinuxProject/selinux/commit/a96e8c59ecac84096d870b42701a504791a8cc8c
https://github.com/SELinuxProject/selinux/commit/3d32fc24d6aff360a538c63dad08ca5c957551b0

Please consider updating libsepol to a version including them or
cherry-picking them into the current version. The relevant commits apply
without issues to 3.0-1.

This bug will become severity serious once gcc-10 becomes the default
compiler.
