It's trivial if you compile from source and onow how to massage the linker!

Oh the linker needs a lot more than a massage; The linker wants full service. When a user needs to run a program, but the inconsiderate lazy dev only built, packaged, and tested the program on 24 ABIs (4 versions of 6 distros) rather than 25 ABIs like he should have, this is what the user wants to see: /data/source/vcpkg/installed/x64-linux/debug/lib/libglib-2.0.a && : /data/source/vcpkg/installed/x64-linux/debug/lib/libglib-2.0.a(gmain.c.o): In function `g_get_worker_context': /data/source/vcpkg/buildtrees/glib/src/2.52.3-34a15219ec.clean/glib/gmain.c:5848: undefined reference to `pthread_sigmask' /data/source/vcpkg/buildtrees/glib/src/2.52.3-34a15219ec.clean/glib/gmain.c:5853: undefined reference to `pthread_sigmask' /data/source/vcpkg/installed/x64-linux/debug/lib/libglib-2.0.a(gregex.c.o): In function `match_info_new': /data/source/vcpkg/buildtrees/glib/src/2.52.3-34a15219ec.clean/glib/gregex.c:588: undefined reference to `pcre_fullinfo' /data/source/vcpkg/installed/x64-linux/debug/lib/libglib-2.0.a(gregex.c.o): In function `g_match_info_next': /data/source/vcpkg/buildtrees/glib/src/2.52.3-34a15219ec.clean/glib/gregex.c:734: undefined reference to `pcre_exec' /data/source/vcpkg/installed/x64-linux/debug/lib/libglib-2.0.a(gregex.c.o): In function `get_matched_substring_number': /data/source/vcpkg/buildtrees/glib/src/2.52.3-34a15219ec.clean/glib/gregex.c:1076: undefined reference to `pcre_get_stringnumber' /data/source/vcpkg/buildtrees/glib/src/2.52.3-34a15219ec.clean/glib/gregex.c:1079: undefined reference to `pcre_get_stringtable_entries' /data/source/vcpkg/installed/x64-linux/debug/lib/libglib-2.0.a(gregex.c.o): In function `g_regex_unref': /data/source/vcpkg/buildtrees/glib/src/2.52.3-34a15219ec.clean/glib/gregex.c:1262: undefined reference to `pcre_free' /data/source/vcpkg/buildtrees/glib/src/2.52.3-34a15219ec.clean/glib/gregex.c:1264: undefined reference to `pcre_free' /data/source/vcpkg/installed/x64-linux/debug/lib/libglib-2.0.a(gregex.c.o): In function `g_regex_new': Clear as mud. Of course you could use the buggy 16 month old version from the package repo.
