[Pkg-blender-maintainers] Bug#417889: blender: FTBFS on mips and sparc

[Sam Hocevar]

Package: blender
Version: 2.42a-6
Severity: serious
Tags: patch

   blender fails to build on mips[1] and sparc[2] because the Debian
build configuration uses -lstdc++ which is never guaranteed to work. The
correct way to link objects that use the standard C++ library is to use
g++ and let it set the proper link flags. Patch attached.

   Note that this is not exactly the same patch that was sent to
-release. This one also removes the unnecessary -lc flag.
