This sounds promising:

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=925746

Something about a test function symbol which runs away due to removing unused symbols.

/etc/makepkg.conf contains:

LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1,--sort-common,--as-needed,-z,relro,-z,now"

So I have to find a way to counteract that for the test programs.

The mentioned Ubuntu patch is for 1.33, so it's already integrated for 1.35, sad. Wrong track..

Removing --as-needed from LDFLAGS in makepkg.conf in the build chroot yields better results (nothing segfaults or fails).

My workaroud for now is setting in PKGBUILD:

build() {
cd ${pkgname}-${pkgver}
export LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1,--sort-common,-z,relro,-z,now"
./configure --prefix=/usr
make
}

check() {
cd ${pkgname}-${pkgver}
export LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1,--sort-common,-z,relro,-z,now"
make check
}

This is just a workaround, the root cause is the tests in libidn
playing funny tricks with the linker..

Same problem exists for libunistring.

Builds and tests run fine now for me. Can be closed.
Same goes for libunistring.
