Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.15
Severity: important

Hi,

After the binutils 2.23.52.20130612-1 entered the archive lots of C++ programs
that don't explicitly use the libc produce:
E: library-not-linked-against-libc
messages. This issue was first reported to binutils in #712081, but the
upstream developers claim its working as intended (when only weak symbols are
used there is no strict dependency).

I'm no expert in this area, but I think that either the lintian error is
wrong or the issue needs a more deep discussion/approach.

It's likely that the lintian test needs to be improved to take into account
weak symbols, but this might be not trivial.
