It is possible to reset LDFLAGS in the rules file like this:

I think this is what you want (although I'm a bit confused by the fact that for some parts of LiVES (weed-plugins) -Wl,-Bsymbolic-functions is set by upstream Makefiles). Sure you can reset CFLAGS the same way if you need to.

If there are significant problems in Karmic package which can demonstrably be solved by rebuilding without -Wl,-Bsymbolic-functions, it's possible to do that. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates for the procedure.

I'm reassigning this bug to LiVES because that's where action needs to be taken.
