Hmm... I am not very familiar with cross-compiling, but this looks to me
like a toolchain issue. pv doesn't do anything particular to call "the
wrong LD" - why should I have to pass a specific linker here?
in other words, why isn't this in dh_auto_build, dh_build, or make or
wherever it should be down the stack?
Don't all gnu autoconf packages suffer from the same bug?
