I have tried to rebuild the same for Ubuntu (arm) as done for Harmattan, and everything looks alright. Cannot say I can reproduce this. More to the point: even if it turns out a bug in certain cases, it is a false behaviour to always fail. Other buildsystem might expect other behaviours... Just use the relevant option if you need it established. That does not mean it has to be default and the behaviour now has to be changed to get this work. Laszlo
