Package: libsnappy-dev
Version: 1.1.2-1
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

I would like to statically link libsnappy into the tracing wrappers for
Apitrace to minimise the chance of symbol conflicts and related shared
library misbehaviour as the tracing wrappers are LD_PRELOADed into arbitrary
processes that we don't control.

The static archive libsnappy.a shipped in libsnappy-dev is not suitable for
this because it's not built with -fPIC (so can't be linked into a dynamic
object on AMD64 at least).

For the moment I'm just using apitrace's bundled copy of snappy, so there's
very little urgency here.

(Reported from an Ubuntu system, but tested with 1.1.2-1 from Sid)
