Package: libc6
Version: 2.3.2.ds1-11
Severity: serious
policy 10.5 says: "[...] symbolic links pointing from one top-level
directory into another should be absolute."
This allows me to have /usr being a symlink to a non-top-level dir, and
having libm.so using a relative symlink breaks. This in turn causes gcc to
pick libm.a since it can't open libm.so, and since libm.a requires libc.a as
opposed to libc.so, I cannot link any program against libm.
