Not without knowing what the unresolved symbols were, and possibly what
"dorking" was involved.

I think there's not been a release for about 4 years, but it seems
stable so even if that's true, it's not necessarily a concern.

That said, Mark is worried that it draws text too slowly for our needs
(that's all we really use GLUT for), so we may have to find a
replacement...

What issue?  Debian regard glut as free software (libglut is in main).
