Hello
libc6-dev includes several "/usr/lib/lib*.so" files that are needed
for building packages but are, maybe accidently, relative instead of
absolute symlinks to "/lib/lib*.so.*".
This is against the "general" rule in
http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-files.html#s10.5
and due to the fact that /usr is sometimes mountet on a different
partition that / i.e. /lib and relative symlinks don't work across
partitions (they always go relative from the absolut path i.e. you
end up in /mnt/my_usr_and_var/ or similar and not in /)
The problem I faced now was that although the package builds fine, the
linker silently put a "TEXTREL=0x0" flag inside the shared libraries
which markes them as not "PIC" compatible although they are compiled
with "-fPIC". This does not comply with our policy as it makes programs
like e.g. prelink not working with such libraries.
The fix would be simply to replace "../.." by "/" when creating the
symlinks.
bye,
