[Pkg-uml-pkgs] Bug#494995: user-mode-linux: static build fails with multiple definition of `strrchr'

[Graham Cobb]

Package: user-mode-linux
Version: 2.6.24-1um-1
Severity: minor

I was attempting to rebuild user-mode-linux from source but choosing the 
UML-specific kernel option to link the image statically.

The build failed at the link stage with the following messages:

  LD      init/built-in.o
  LD      .tmp_vmlinux1
