thanks

Hi!

The failure to build is caused by the -pic flag that's added in the
debian/rules file to the LDFLAGS.  This flag doesn't seem to have ever
existed, but it was ignored in the past and it now creates a failure to
build.

Attached is a debdiff output of a package fixing this problem.

I intend to upload this as an NMU to the 0-day delayed queue.

The package is also in need of some general love, but I won't be touching
this.
