Hello Thomas Dickey,

You've previously interacted with the debian bug report at
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=656026
and the issue there should have been fixed already.

While preparing an updated debian package with the latest
snapshot release the packaging CI however noticed another
(minor) issue with hardening. Full "blhc" log available at:
https://salsa.debian.org/debian/mawk/-/jobs/530844

Basically it seems the issue is that $(LDFLAGS) is still
missing from the Makefile.in line that builds makescan(.c).
Given that makescan seems to be a tool only used during
build and not actually shipped/installed, hardening it
is probably very low priority. It might however be nice
to have this fixed simply so that the blhc job will succeed
making it easier to spot any potential future regressions
in hardening. Would be great if you could consider looking
into this. Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Andreas Henriksson
