Yes, you can try this. But make sure you add it with "+=" to not overwrite
the other CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS.

You can also use DEB_CXXFLAGS_MAINT_APPEND, see [1].

By adding -fpermissive to the CFLAGS the build process went further.

Now it is stuck at a rustc compile error:

Compiling url v1.7.0

It seems the cause is that rust compiler has changed behavior and so the url v1.7.0 needs an update.

But i don't know where to take it from and how to apply it...
