Proftpd fails to compile with -fPIC flag. Adding the following to the top of the ebuild file fixes the problem: inherit flag-o-matic filter-flags -fPIC Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. set cflags to include -fPIC 2. emerge proftpd Actual Results: doesnt compile. Expected Results: should compile.
Why would you be using -fPIC with it? You should _never_ _ever_ set -fPIC manually. Stripping -fPIC from every ebuild that breaks with it would be an endless job...
