Bug#795820: apache2-dev: apxs passes --silent to libtool by default

[intrigeri@debian.org]

Package: apache2-dev
Version: 2.4.16-2
Severity: minor

Hi,

when building the apparmor package, I see:

  NONVERBOSE BUILD: /usr/share/apr-1.0/build/libtool --silent --mode=compile --tag=disable-static x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc -prefer-pic -pipe -g -O2 -fstack-protector-strong -Wformat -Werror=format-security  -DBUILD_DATETIME='"2015-08-07T21:43:16"' -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2   -DLINUX -D_REENTRANT -D_GNU_SOURCE  -pthread  -I/usr/include/apache2  -I/usr/include/apr-1.0   -I/usr/include/apr-1.0 -I/usr/include -I../../libraries/libapparmor//include  -c -o mod_apparmor.lo mod_apparmor.c && touch mod_apparmor.slo
  NONVERBOSE BUILD: /usr/share/apr-1.0/build/libtool --silent --mode=link --tag=disable-static x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc -Wl,--as-needed -Wl,-z,relro -Wl,-z,now    -o mod_apparmor.la -Wl,-L../../libraries/libapparmor//src/.libs/  -rpath /usr/lib/apache2/modules -module -avoid-version    mod_apparmor.lo -lapparmor

... which seems to be a false positive that should be fixed in blhc,
but still I'd rather not to teach myself to ignore this warning.

In support/apxs.in I see:

  my $ltflags        = $ENV{'LTFLAGS'};
  $ltflags or $ltflags = "--silent";

... which seems to contradict the 2.4.6-2 changelog entry that reads
"Don't pass --silent to libtool".

Perhaps this code should be changed to:

  my $ltflags        = $ENV{'LTFLAGS'};
  $ltflags or $ltflags = "";

?

Cheers,
