[gnutls-devel] GnuTLS | gnutls 3.8.7 needs dlwrap (so rust and clang) (#1581)

[Read-only notification of GnuTLS library development activities]

Ross Burton created an issue: https://gitlab.com/gnutls/gnutls/-/issues/1581



I'd like to object to the use of dlwrap by gnutls. I understand the utility of dynamically loading libraries but this implementation:

1) Isn't listed in the NEWS file at all
2) Means a build-time dependency on rust and clang
3) Means we can't statically link to these libraries at all

(1) means that what looks like a small point release is a vastly larger undertaking.  (2) is a big deal for source-based distributions. (3) can be a big problem for people who want a self-contained library that isn't dependent on other files on disk.
