I suspect this may have to do with -Wl,-znocombreloc. If I change the
debian/rules to
LDFLAGS = $(shell dpkg-buildflags --get LDFLAGS) -Wl,-znocombreloc
then the emacs24-lucid package works.
The emacs configure checks for and adds -Wl,-znocombreloc to LDFLAGS.
But the way the "build_cmd" forces
$(MAKE) LDFLAGS=...
loses that configure -Wl from the actual compile. Perhaps either
build_cmd could not force the flags on the make, but only on the
configure invocation, or else ensure -Wl,-znocombreloc is included in
the overridden flags. It seems configure uses -Wl,-znocombreloc
whenever it works, which for debian would mean always I expect.
Dunno what -Wl,-znocombreloc actually does. Something hairy affecting
unexec I suppose. Dunno why it only affects the athena build. The
relocations which are broken without it are related to structs copied
from the shared library into the program data area. Perhaps the gtk
build doesn't have any of those.
