FTBFS package cyrus-sasl2 2.1.23 in Natty

And here's a fix.

Firas, this looks fine and I'll sponsor it, thanks! However, could you please also make sure that either (a) this is already fixed in Debian unstable or (b) there's a bug filed in Debian with your patch? Thanks in advance.

Debian doesn't use that revision anymore, but they don't mention this problem in the changelog for the newer ones, so I guess it is still present. I will report it.

This bug was fixed in the package cyrus-sasl2 - 2.1.23.dfsg1-5ubuntu3

    FTBFS in Natty. (LP: #694398)

Debian doesn't force the use of --as-needed at link time (yet?) as far
as I know, so this wouldn't FTBFS on Debian.

It would be nice to be able to build the package with --as-needed in
Debian, so filing a bug about it still makes sense.

Cheers,
