Intersting. That commit states:

>> libgtest-dev is provided as a static library at least by Debian 10.
>> The compiler and linker to create the static library might be

And I recall that before that patch, I had build issues on my system
which I use to build both clang and gcc builds. So I believed this
patch was beneficial at the time.

I've now also just heard from Javier that this is breaking the RedHat
packaging system, so we'll need to find a more generalised solution
somehow I think.
