I found the problem: it comes from binutils 2.8.0.1.23. I upgraded to 2.9.1
then now it works.
I've had similar troubles in packaging libpaper. It seemed there was a bug in
the linker when using a local shared library (like libdpkg, libpaper).
Hopefully it's fixed :-)
If not already done, I will upload, tomorrow morning, the following packages:
binutils 2.9.1-0.1
dpkg 1.4.0.22
lout 3.10-1.1
psutils 1.17-3
sgml-tools 1.0.5-1
(and maybe other packages I will successfully compile today).
Bye.
