libcwd crashes on AMD64 systems

Bug Description

The AMD64 version of libcwd is not compiled correctly.

When running programs compiled with libcwd-dev, the programs crash with a message like this:

COREDUMP: elf32.cc:3363: void libcwd::elf32::objfile_ct::initialize(const char*, bool): Assertion `M_header.e_shentsize == sizeof(Elf32_Shdr)' failed.

Resolution:

Obviously ./configure was called without the following option:

 --disable-location

(disable the ability to lookup source file and line number, you might need this on a non-ELF32 system.)

A version compiled with this options does not result in problems anymore on my system

Do you have an example for it? I get this output:

daniel@bert:~$ apt-cache rdepends libcwd0c2
libcwd0c2
Reverse Depends:
  libcwd0c2-dbg
  libcwd-dev
