FTBFS in Natty: undefined reference to symbol 'dlsym@@GLIBC_2.2.5'

Bug Description

Binary package hint: inkscape

My attempt to build inkscape_0.48.0-1ubuntu1 in a Natty chroot (amd64) failed with the following error:

CXXLD inkscape
/usr/bin/ld: libinkscape.a(javabind.o): undefined reference to symbol 'dlsym@@GLIBC_2.2.5'
/usr/bin/ld: note: 'dlsym@@GLIBC_2.2.5' is defined in DSO /lib64/libdl.so.2 so try adding it to the linker command line
/lib64/libdl.so.2: could not read symbols: Invalid operation
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

This is probably due to the changes in binutils for Natty/Wheezy <http://wiki.debian.org/ToolChain/DSOLinking> which prevent the automatic resolution of symbols in indirect dependent shared libraries.

Inkscape has already been flagged as potentially having this problem at the following pages:
* http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=554919
* https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RobSavoye/GoldFixes

Is this just a case of adding the following to src/Makefile.am?

libinkscape_a_LIBADD = -ldl

Added simple patch which seems to fix the bug for me in a local chroot build

see <https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/595872>, comment #6 - maybe adding it in configure.ac instead?

Yes, that would be more sensible. I'll update the patch shortly

Updated patch as discussed. Still builds fine locally

Ubuntu fix submitted for sponsorship in bug #645888
