Bug#425863: FTBFS: teckit/libtool yields multiple definition errors
Package: texlive-bin
Version: 2007-8
Severity: serious
Tags: patch
Justification: no longer builds from source
The version of libtool in .../libs/teckit is buggy (rant about libtool
in general elided ;-). Specifically, it directs g++ to link in
certain system objects that the compiler would normally supply itself,
but neglects to tell the compiler not to introduce its own instances
of the same objects. As a result, texlive-bin FTBFS on amd64 (and
presumably other architectures as well):
[...]

[...]
The attached patch addresses this by supplying -nostdlib per the
current /usr/share/aclocal/libtool.m4 (which BTW contains many other
changes, none of which appear to be necessary at the moment); could
you please apply it ASAP (particularly given that most of texlive now
specifically depends on texlive-bin 2007-8)?
Thanks!
