mccs in unstable does FTBFS, and this has to be an RC bug somewhere.
If the bug is that mccs does not use the _pic variant and the fix should
be to make it use that, then reassign this bug to src:mccs.
If you plan to give in building liblpsolve55.a with -fPIC, that's
a wishlist bug against liblpsolve55-dev. But it inherits RC severity
through fixing a FTBFS in mccs. Version tracking does not really
support that an lp-solve upload fixes an RC bug in mccs.
I have no opinion which of the packages should be changed,
and it is fine for me if you reassign this bug to mccs.
