Package: libf2c2
Severity: important
Tags: patch

I'm not certain, but it looks like libf2c2 got caught by a recent binutils
issue on powerpc.  scalapack, which depends on libf2c2, is failing to build
with the error message:

gcc  -o /build/buildd/scalapack-1.7/TESTING/xigemr pigemrdrv.o -L 
/build/buildd/scalapack-1.7 -lscalapack-lam -lblacsCinit-lam -lblacs-lam 
-lblacsCinit-lam -lmpi -llapack -lblas -lf2c -lm
/usr/lib/gcc/powerpc-linux-gnu/4.0.2/../../../../lib/libf2c.so: undefined 
reference to `MAIN__'

If this *is* the same powerpc linker bug as Bug#329686, which isn't
certain, it's fixed by a rebuild with the current binutils.

I'm filing this bug so that we have a record of this issue in the BTS.
The discussion of this problem is currently happening on debian-release.
