[darwin] "Symbol not found: _allow_severity" in comms/conserver8 #135

Description

@robohack

I'm not sure why this has apparently re-appeared, but I'm getting the following error from conserver8-8.2.1nb4. This is very similar to the old issue with stunnel in your pkgsrc-legacy (#295).

Apparently the problem is that binaries linking with libwrap must either be linked with a static-only version of that library (not so easy with pkgsrc), or else otherwise when linking dynamically they must not be stripped else they cannot provide the symbols needed by the libarary.

# /opt/pkg/sbin/conserver 
dyld: Symbol not found: _allow_severity
  Referenced from: /opt/pkg/lib/libwrap.7.dylib
  Expected in: flat namespace
 in /opt/pkg/lib/libwrap.7.dylib

In my own pkgsrc builds I have INSTALL_UNSTRIPPED?= YES in my mk.conf as I never ever want to remove any symbols from any binary -- they can always prove useful and they don't take too much space on any modern system.

    I think this one also got accidentally automatically closed.
