Probably this is related to bug 72969. Maybe the ebuild should just avoid passing any --with-pic or --without-pic option, after all libidn uses libtool and should do the right thing automatically... I don't understand all that, but I managed to recompile the library so that now everything prelinks. (As suggested in that other bug report.) I removed the pic flag form libidn. All should be ok now. |
I tried to prelink my applications (as I have done in the past) to get them load faster. Got hundreds of lines like this: prelink: /usr/kde/3.3/bin/kmixctrl: Cannot prelink against non-PIC shared library /usr/lib/libidn.so.11 I heard once that if prelink for one library fails it leaves the whole binary non-prelinked (and thus slow). So, now none of my kde applications and such can be prelinked? I had the things beautifully prelinked with no errors and just upgraded to use ~x86 and when I decided to prelink everything again, ..
