Hi! Dpkg in Ubuntu carries a patch introduced in dpkg 1.16.1.2ubuntu2 from December 2011. The changelog entry reads:
* Apply patch from Steve McIntyre to special-case armhf/armel ELF objects in Shlibs/Objdump.pm, so we don't get incorrect deps. Wine-development since 1.9.9-1 has a script (sonames2elf) [1] and some magic in debian/rules [2] that generates a list of shared libraries that libwine should recommend and depend on. This change in wine-development and the patch to dpkg above, together cause wine-development to FTBFS on Ubuntu armhf, see the second part of my report in #827770 [3], where the following error and similar are mentioned. dpkg-shlibdeps: error: couldn't find library libfontconfig.so.1 needed by debian/tmp/elf.depends (ELF format: 'elf32-littlearm-sfabi'; RPATH:'') Reverting Ubuntu's dpkg patch causes dpkg-shlibdeps to find the libraries. Alternatively, using readelf -h I found the ELF header flags of elf.depends and elf.recommends to be 0x5000600. After using hte to change these flags to 0x5000402, dpkg-shlibdeps was also able to find the lbraries. How can I set these flags correctly? I have tried passing -mfloat-abi=hard and -mhard-float to gcc from sonames2elf, but neither had an effect.
