[Build-common-hackers] Bug#576967: cdbs: Splits CC into multiple env-var words

[Daniel Schepler]

Package: cdbs
Version: 0.4.77
Severity: serious

From my pbuilder build log for abiword:

...
touch debian/stamp-autotools-files
chmod a+x /tmp/buildd/abiword-2.8.2/./configure
mkdir -p .
cd . && CC="gcc" CC="-Wl,--as-needed" CXX="g++" CXX="-Wl,--as-needed" CFLAGS="-g -O2 -g -Wall -O2" CXXFLAGS="-g -O2 -g -Wall -O2" CPPFLAGS="" LDFLAGS="" /tmp/buildd/abiword-2.8.2/./configure --build=x86_64-linux-gnu  --prefix=/usr --

make: *** [debian/stamp-autotools] Error 77
dpkg-buildpackage: error: debian/rules build gave error exit status 2

This appears to be the result from debian/rules setting
CC := gcc -Wl,--as-needed
and similarly for CXX.  This used to work fine.

(Setting to RC severity since it causes abiword to FTBFS.)
