No I could not, because I still got the dependent krb5 package to bring
in another unavailable linker script.
FTR we resolved this by rebuilding krb5-libs *without* notes, and then
I could rebuild python-gssapi also without notes.
However I resent a bit that I had to chase down this problem myself,
days after it had already been exposed, and basically manually disable
this feature for a large part of Fedora (anything that links to krb5
now is missing these notes, rights?)
No. krb5-libs will miss its notes. But python-gssapi will contain its correct
notes. (Provided python-gssapi links to krb5-libs dynamically. I don't know
whether the notes only record a source package name the ELF file belongs to,
or whether they try to track origin of all object files the ELF consists of.)
