-Bsymbolic-functions linker flag causes bdirjson output problem

[Marcin Haba]

Hello Everybody,

In Ubuntu Focal the Bacula binaries are prepared with the following linker flag:

-Wl,-Bsymbolic-functions

It causes a problem because when this flag is used then in bdirjson output all "Storage" directive values are "null". More information about this problem you can see in the following ticket in the Bacula Bug tracker:

https://bugs.bacula.org/view.php?id=2557#c8234

As you can read there Bacula developers recommend to not use this flag to prepare Bacula binaries.

Could it be possible to stop using the liker flag in Ubuntu Bacula binaries?

Thank you in advance for your help with solving this problem.

Best regards,
Marcin Haba (gani)
