Wow! I wouldn't have looked at this. I added -Wl,-no-whole-archive at the end 
of the archives list passed to the linker:

g++ -fPIC -g `tntnet-config --libs` -shared -o libvdr-live.so  live.o thread.o 
tntconfig.o setup.o i18n.o timers.o tools.o recordings.o tasks.o status.o 
epg_events.o epgsearch.o grab.o -Wl,--whole-archive pages/libpages.a 
css/libcss.a images/libimages.a 
javascript/libjavascript.a -Wl,--no-whole-archive httpd/libhttpd.a -lssl

Thanks this fixes the linking problem.

But it does not explain why the problem appeared after the upgrade. It should 
have been wrong on my side even before the update.
