Bug#1003100: src:debugedit: please drop gcc-driver.diff patch
Source: debugedit
Version: 1:5.0-4
Severity: minor
Dear Maintainer,
Please drop the 'gcc-driver.diff' debian patch from the debugedit
source package. The patch breaks testsuite tests 6, 7, 11, 14, 18, and
23, all of which involve partial linking[1], when compiling on an
oldstable Debian 10 Buster system with its gcc-8 compiler and ld version
2.31.1 linker. Additionally the patch just seems to be arbitrary and
incorrect.
[1] Test 19 is the only other test involving partial linking, but it is
skipped by default.
