This will break strace on systems where mmap on /proc/pid/mem is
prohibited except to root. (This restriction is part of a security
measure which should be supported, given the history of horrible
security holes with /proc.)

Hello,
I certainly mistakenly put Apache in non-free when I took over the package.
I'd like to put it back into net, but can you tell me if its license, which
follows, allows that? (I think it can).
Thanks,

Here's something I just found in chapter 4.1 of the policy manual:
The -N flag should not be used. On a.out systems it may have been
useful for some very small binaries, but for ELF it has no good
effect.
I wish it explained why it shouldn't be used so we could understand it

I remember this was discussed on the linux-gcc list some time ago. The

It isn't relevant. I strongly remember that -N is for static linking

You remember wrong.
The usual a.out executable file format consists of three parts:
a 1 kB header, one or more 4 kB code pages, and one more 4 kB
data pages. Thus, the minimum size is 9

As well as itself, win32binutils also recommends win32gcc, but win32gcc

Although this doesn't seem to confuse dpkg, I'm pretty sure that dselect
is going to have fits, since it treats recommends as strongly as depends.
