Sync sbcl 1:1.0.45.0-1 (universe) from Debian unstable (main)

Taking a look

This failed to build, I'll attach the pbuilder log

Oops shouldn't happen. I'll take a look

Regards

A. Because it breaks the logical sequence of discussion
Q. Why is top posting bad?

OK sbcl won't build with --as-needed. Btw: the current package fails the same way.

It can be fixed by putting a `LDFLAGS += -Wl,--no-as-needed` at the top of debian rules. As I won't change that in debian, what's the way to get such a modification into ubuntu? If it turns out to be hard maybe better remove sbcl and it's rdepends.

From SBCL upstream here: we can add the flags to the upstream directly, if that helps.

As was discussed on IRC, disabling --as-needed should only be a last resort option. Fixing the linking order would be best.

Eh, I didn't notice at first, but this is actually fixed in SBCL 1.0.45.9 in the upstream -- without --no-as-needed.

...though I maintain that for SBCL --no-as-needed is actually exactly the right thing. If we specify linking against library, we do that because we want dlsym() to be able to find the symbols from that at runtime.

This bug was fixed in the package sbcl - 1:1.0.45.0-1ubuntu1

---------------
sbcl (1:1.0.45.0-1ubuntu1) natty; urgency=low

  * Add --no-as-needed to LDFLAGS to prevent FTBFS,
    Patch propsed by Christoph Egger, fixes LP: #715498

sbcl (1:1.0.45.0-1) experimental; urgency=low

  * New Upstream Version
  * Rework install target
  * Add kfreebsd support
  * Move to format 3.0 (quilt)
  * Runn the tests

sbcl (1:1.0.43.0-1) experimental; urgency=low

  * New upstream Version

sbcl (1:1.0.42.0-1) experimental; urgency=low

  * Import new upstream. Major changes:
    * build changes
       * Cross-compilation host is now specified to make.sh using
         command-line argument --xc-host=<command> instead of a
         positional argument. (thanks to Daniel Herring)
       * Install location can be specified to make.sh using
         command-line argument --prefix=<path>. (thanks to Daniel
         Herring)
      * optimization: The default implementation of
        COMPUTE-DISCRIMINATING-FUNCTION does much less wasted work.
      * enhancement: Explicit memory barrier operations are now
        available for use by multithreaded code. See documentation
        for details.
      * enhancement: Experimental support for threading on Linux/PPC.
      * bug fix: RENAME-PACKAGE returns the package. (Thanks to Eric
        Marsden)
      * bug fix: EXPT signals an error if first argument is a zero and
        second argument is a floating point zero. (thanks to Roman
        Marynchak)
      * bug fix: DEFTYPE signals an error for non-list lambda-lists.
        (thanks to Roman Marynchak)
      * bug fix: make ASDF-INSTALL compatible with the now-included
        ASDF2. (reported by Phil Hargett; patch from Jim Wise)
      * optimization: validity of observed keyword initargs to
        MAKE-INSTANCE is cached, leading to many fewer expensive calls
        to COMPUTE-APPLICABLE-METHODS.
      * optimization: in the (unoptimized) general method for
        MAKE-INSTANCE on a CLASS argument, search for and call an
        appropriate optimized ctor function if it exists.
      * bug fix: WRITE always returns the correct value.
  * Bump standards version 3.9.0 → 3.9.1, no changes
