What's the actual error you see? If it's the warning about having an
undefined weak reference to <some symbol>, this is usually fairly
harmless. It just means that the object in question doesn't have
DT_NEEDED entries for all the libraries it depends on, normally because
some of these libraries are implicitly included by others and nobody has
noticed that they are also used directly. libXpm is something of a
favourite for this.
It'd be worth filing bugs for binaries with that problem, but only at
normal or minor severity.
