Package: dar
Version: 2.2.1-2
Severity: serious

Hi,

Dar is now failing to build on all 64 bit arches.
Configure fails to find the version of gettext in libc and ends
up building the internal version instead, and then fails when
linking, because it's also in libc.

The reason it failed:
configure:9855: checking for GNU gettext in libc
configure:9879: x86_64-linux-gnu-g++ -o conftest -g -O2
conftest.cc  >&5
conftest.cc: In function 'int main()':
conftest.cc:95: error: cast from 'char*' to 'int' loses precision

This seems be caused by the new g++, which is more strict in
those things.

This seems to fix it:
- libtoolize --force --copy
- aclocal-1.9
- automake
- autoconf

Note that you'll have to take care of timestamp skew issues
(See autotools-dev documentation.)

PS: Your current libtool version seems to be a strange mix of
the 1.5.6 debian version and a 1.5.10.


Kurt
