Package: wireless-tools
Version: 30~pre9-12
Severity: minor
Tags: patch
User: ubuntu-de...@lists.ubuntu.com
Usertags: origin-ubuntu artful ubuntu-patch
Hi Guus,
In Ubuntu, we have applied the attached patch to wireless-tools in order for
the upstream build to be compatible with the Ubuntu toolchain which uses
-Wl,--as-needed by default - as described at
<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ToolChain/CompilerFlags#A-Wl.2C--as-needed>.
While this flag is not enabled by default in Debian, it is useful both to
downstreams such as Ubuntu where it is enabled, and to developers
experimenting with other toolchains for building (e.g. ld.gold, or clang).
Please consider including this patch in the Debian package as well.
Thanks,

It wasn't quite the same patch, but something similar was applied in
Debian some time back, and it looks like the corresponding Ubuntu patch
has been dropped in response:
wireless-tools (30~pre9-13.1) unstable; urgency=medium
* Non-maintainer upload.
* Fix ftbfs. (Closes: #925857)
- Thanks Reiner Herrmann.
