Description
libtrace and related tools are needlessly linking against libraries that they do not use. This causes unnecessary dependencies to be generated in the Debian packages.
Please stop linking against libraries that you don't use any symbols from to avoid dependency bloat in the Debian packages.

- Resolution set to fixed
- Status changed from new to closed
Mostly fixed in r1701 - libgcc_s and libstdc++ are still linked against because I can't figure out where the hell they are coming from. Sigh, autotools...
