+Of course if that is the problem, then a proper patch to it's build
+system (autotools, cmake or whatever is used) and submitting the fix
+upstream is the "correct" course of action :)
+
+Sometimes this happens due to "overlinking" which is often used tho'
+many distros (like us) in recent years have been trying to be more
+strict about this stuff in our build systems.
