Though there is a question of what the default behavior on
autobuilders should be.
I guess it would be nice if packages supported some interface like
DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=verbose to help toolchain hackers. If you have
ideas for how to (or not to) move forward on that kind of thing, there
is a rough proposal at [1].
(BTW, sorry for the false starts before. Now I suspect a possible
short-term fix is to eliminate the strncat call but have no particular
reason to believe it will work. There's a disincentive to fix the
underlying problem because it flags these strncat() calls which are a
little insane.)
