Bug#706308: lintian: possible false positive statically-linked-binary
Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.10.5
Severity: normal
Lintian reports statically-linked-binary on i386 but I'm not sure
why. Could this be a false positive? The sources for testing are
available at:
git clone http://cante.net/~jaalto/vc/i810switch.git
