Bug#28850: List of packages that link gettext statically
Joel Klecker told me that programs that link statically with gettext
will have "bindtextdomain" defined. I grepped for that in the Lintian
lab and got this list:
clisp
dpkg
enscript
gcal
gettext
grep
id-utils
info
libc6
olwm
pspp
sharutils
textutils
xview
xviewg
gettext and libc6 are obvious, and are already fixed. I don't
know about the rest, or whether they contain suid binaries.
(I can't grep for that in the lab, because suid bits often get
set in the postinst.)
