Good question. Rebuilding 1.8.8-2 in a current sid chroot causes the same thing. This seems to be caused by something in the toolchain. For reference, here are the differences in some key toolchain packages for the original 1.8.8-2 build and the one I just re-ran: package | small lib version | large lib version --------------------------------------------------------- binutils | 2.24-5 | 2.24.51.20140604-3 g++4.8 | 4.8.2-18 | 4.8.3-3 gcc-4.8 | 4.8.2-18 | 4.8.3-3 gcc-4.9 | n/a | 4.9.0-5 libc6-dev | 2.18-4 | 2.19-1 libstdc++-4.8-dev | 4.8.2-18 | 4.8.3-3 libstdc++6 | 4.8.2-18 | 4.9.0-5 Based on my minimal knowledge of what goes into building the shared libraries, I'll start this off in binutils' court.
