Bug#860223: sleuthkit: please adjust symbols file for compatibility with -O3

[Steve Langasek]

Package: sleuthkit
Version: 4.4.0-2
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Dear maintainer,

In Ubuntu, the latest upload of sleuthkit was failing to build on ppc64el
because the Ubuntu ppc64el architecture uses -O3 optimization by default,
which causes one symbol listed in your libtsk13.symbols file to be inlined
instead.  In order to fix this build failure, I have applied the attached
patch which marks that symbol as optional, and also adds a number of other
symbols that showed up in the build log as added.  The added symbols
probably have nothing to do with -O3, and may not be related to ppc64el
either - they may be newer symbols that are added across all architectures
and therefore should not be marked as optional at all.

Please consider applying the attached patch (or a variant) to make sleuthkit
portable to building with -O3.

Thanks,
