[apt-build-devel] Bug#787427: apt-build is unable to compile mpv package

[apt-build development list]

Package: apt-build
Version: 0.12.45
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

apt-build mask the correct link to find the gcc compiler to the mpv configuration program.

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

# apt-build installa mpv

   * What was the outcome of this action?
