Created attachment 1245156 [details] patch fixing the issue Description of problem: When building binary that depends on xmlrpc_client library pkg-config --libs returns only "-lxmlrpc_client" but then the linking phase fails because xmlrpc_client depends on xmlrpc and xmlrpc_util. I believe that this is the result of changing libxmlrpc_client.so from GNU ld script to symlink. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Try to build application that is linking xmlrpc_client. Actual results: Linking fails because of missing libratries. Expected results: Linking succeeds. Additional info: I'm attaching a patch that fixes it for me.
Awaiting for reproducer ;_
Closing as this is bug in our build system, thank you for explanation over IRC ;-)
