Public bug reported:
$ pkg-config --libs --static gnutls
-L/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu -lgnutls -lz -R/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu -lp11-kit
-lgmp -lhogweed -lgmp -lnettle -ltasn1 -lp11-kit -lz
$ grep -e -R /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkgconfig/*.pc
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkgconfig/gnutls.pc:Libs.private:
-L/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu -lz -R/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu -lp11-kit
-lgmp
That -R looks innocent, but it's not. Libs.private is passed to gcc,
not to ld, so it needs to use -Wl,-rpath... what am I saying, it
shouldn't be passing an rpath at all, should it?
Anyway, the -R has to go, it causes build failure for any app that uses
pkg-config --static --libs gnutls
This bug was not present in ubuntu 12.04, but is present in both ubuntu
14.04 and ubuntu 15.10.
The workaround for affected developers is to ham-fistedly remove the
-R/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu from /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-
gnu/pkgconfig/gnutls.pc
