Thanks, but that doesn't appear to help, I think the issue is to do
with the changed default in gcc rather than the hardening settings
injected into the build by dpkg-buildpackage/dpkg-buildflags (or
whatever it is which does it).

If possible I'd also prefer a solution which fixed qcontrol-static
without opting out for the normal dynamic/non-udeb binary.
