If you fail to reproduce this, please provide a build log and diff it with mine
so that we can identify if something relevant changed in the meantime.

on libxpm:
Explicitly mark non-static symbols as export or hidden

Hides private API from external linkage

Signed-off-by: Alan Coopersmith <alan.coopersmith@oracle.com>

That commit marks those functions as hidden for some reason.

I'm contacting the libxpm maintainers.

Hi,
...

Thanks for working on it.

Is there any progress here? If so,  could you update some
progress/news here?

Hi Paul,

I found a patch for the problem (by copying some code from the
libxpm-3.5.17 source) and pushed it to some freshly created repository
at

https://salsa.debian.org/debian-phototools-team/pixmap

This implies maintenance by the PhotoTools team (which I consider
sensible).  Paul, I've just made you Owner of the repository so you can
move it around in case you prefer the maintenance somewhere else.  I
did not wanted to start the ITS procedure since I know you are perfectly
active.

What do you think?

Kind regards
    Andreas.
