Description Thomas Veith 2006-04-27 08:02:24 UTC 
when emerging flex, it gets built without -fPIC, which at least breaks sci-mathematics/snns. Adding "append-flags -fPIC" to src_compile() fixes the relocation problems.

dont link flex into shared libs

why? what's so special about flex? there are apps in portage which do - so why dont compile flex with -fPIC?

It also breaks glimpse. Please, add "pic" USE flag for trying to solve it.

Thanks a lot

This breaks at least two packages in the tree, not much of a solution...

Comment 7 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2006-11-26 10:45:01 UTC 
the packages have always been broken then which implies improper KEYWORDing
Comment 8 Charlie Shepherd (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-12-07 12:39:10 UTC 
Any update on this? app-misc/glimpse and sci-mathematics/snns are still broken?
Comment 9 Christopher Mire 2006-12-12 19:56:55 UTC 
This bug also stops setools-2.4 on amd64 platform from building.
