Hi LaMont,
I've uploaded a change to postfix in Ubuntu to fix a build failure
introduced when libc6 was converted to multiarch:
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archive/test-rebuild-20110329/+buildjob/2407653
The best way to fix this reliably and for all time without breaking
backwards compatibility and backportability is, IMHO, to ask the compiler
directly. Since postfix isn't using autoconf which would have already asked
the compiler ;), I think gcc -print-search-dirs is the quickest way to do
this.
So this is what I've implemented, uploading with the following changelog
entry:
* makedefs: search all directories known by the compiler for our libraries,
not just /lib and /lib64; fixing the build failure with multiarch.
As multiarch is not too far off from unstable now, I think it would be best
if you could include this patch in your next upload.
Cheers,
