--- Comment #3 from Matthias Klose <doko at debian dot org> ---
there's a custom linker script in the libqb source

$ cat lib/qblog_script.ld.in 
#include <qb/qblog.h>
/* GNU ld script
   This atypical arrangement enforces global visibility of boundary symbols
   (QB_ATTR_SECTION_START, QB_ATTR_SECTION_STOP) for the custom section
   QB_ATTR_SECTION used for compile-time offloading of the logging call sites
   tracking.  While libqb relies on these being global, default linker from
   binutils change the visibility as of version 2.29, making the logging
   unusable without artificial stimulus: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/1477354

   NOTE: If -lqb not usable for linking (e.g. linker not compatible with
         linker scripts ad-hoc modifying output sections), try recent
         ld.bfd/binutils linker first when available, otherwise you can
         try "-l:libqb.so.<digit>" link switch that bypasses said linker
         script -- but beware, logging may be less efficient and may lack
         possible future optimizations and extra features.  Consequently,
         logging issues (typically bound to QB_LOG_INIT_DATA macro) can be
         mitigated with QB_KILL_ATTRIBUTE_SECTION macro defined for a build.
   NOTE: When concerned about a warning coming from the build process like
         warning: [...]libqb.so contains output sections; did you forget -T?
         while it finishes OK, consider it merely a harmless side-effect.
