    Comment:

    The listed shared library doesn't include information about the other
    libraries against which it was linked.

    More specifically, "ldd foo.so" should report such other libraries. In
    your case, it reports "statically linked".

    The fix is to specify the libraries. One way to do so is to add
    something like "-lc" to the command-line options for "ld".

    Comment:

    A file is not valid UTF-8.

    Debian has used UTF-8 for many years. Support for national encodings
    is being phased out. This file probably appears to users in mangled
    characters (also called mojibake).

    Packaging control files must be encoded in valid UTF-8.

    Please convert the file to UTF-8 using iconv or a similar tool.

Note how the long description of the national-encoding is at a different tag at a different package, as well as various other issues with other tags.
