Package: binutils
Version: 2.17-1
On Debian/AMD64, 32bit libraries that rely on a 3rd library aren't
linkable. I've seen this with the freetype library when trying to
configure wine. Seems to be a regression, as it was working until I did
a dist-upgrade last week or so.
# make a simple test program
$ cat l.c
extern int FT_Init_FreeType(void);
int main(void) { return FT_Init_FreeType(); }
# the following fails to link
$ gcc -m32 -o l l.c -lfreetype
