Details

Description:

zstd version 1.5.2-5 includes a static library, say /usr/lib/libzstd.a but it's nearly empty and contains no symbols.

since: https://github.com/archlinux/svntogit-packages/commit/af1bab8ee585b5f0d6e3eeb368878c36ce4c62c3

after a bunch of checks, it seems to disable LTO resolves the problem.


Additional info:
* package version(s)
- zstd (1.5.2-5) previous versions are not affected since there's no static library.

Steps to reproduce:

install zstd package and
- nm /lib/libzstd.a | grep " T"

then rebuild with "!lto" and run the same command above.
This task depends upon

Need to add -ffat-lto-objects to the build flags

why is the static library packaged anyway? This makes some comsumers (at least Qt) choose the static over the shared version, which is currently broken.

Hello, it's been a whole week since this breakage and it's affecting at least all Qt builds.
Can someone move zstd (1.5.2-7) from `testing` to `core` asap?
