[Bug 588519] Re: [FTBFS] on i368 with "xslt.c:(.text+0x1bb4): undefined reference to `__stack_chk_fail_local'"

[Kees Cook]

This appears to be the correct fix to me (swapping ld with gcc and
losing -E).  The resulting .so file doesn't lose any symbols due to the
lack of -E.  (I checked with both builds, and with add -Wl,-E to the gcc
invocation.)  So, this appears to be safe.

Status in “steam” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed

Bug description:
Binary package hint: steam

steam fails to build on i386 (and powerpc) with this ending:

In file included from xml_dom.c:7:

Changing "ld -E -shared" to "gcc -shared" in configure (as hinted by http://erl1.wordpress.com/2009/11/16/reinstallingmaking-ns-2-on-ubuntu-9-10/ ) makes the build succeed and the package seems to install fine.
