+Subject: [PATCH 1/1] xfsprogs: replaces -static with -static-libtool-libs
+
+xfsprogs relies on the original behaviour of -static which was
+modified by [1]. But since commit [2] the build of xfsprogs tools is
+broken because they try to link statically with the static libuuid
+library (util-linux), which is not built for shared only builds.
+
+The use of -static-libtool-libs allows to fallback to the dynamic
+linking for libuuid only:
+
+LD_TRACE_LOADED_OBJECTS=1 xfs_copy
+	linux-gate.so.1 =>  (0xf7793000)
+	libuuid.so.1 => /lib/libuuid.so.1 (0x465e1000)
+	libpthread.so.0 => /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0x46db1000)
+	librt.so.1 => /lib/librt.so.1 (0x46f21000)
+	libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x46bf1000)
+	/lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x46bce000)
