Bug 53716 – fPIC patch fails to actually add -fPIC to zlib on ppc

• Status: VERIFIED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Douglas Russell (RETIRED) 2004-06-12 07:08:48 UTC]

Try to compile zlib without "-fPIC" in CFLAGS:
Patch should add -fPIC but doesn't. See Fail.txt

With "-fPIC" in CFLAGS:
Works perfectly. See Success.txt

This failure causes pretty much anything that relies on zlib to fail - Big badness. This happens on ppc, but doesn't seem to on x86.

Seems that the problem appears just because of the stricter checks in the newer binutils, not sure if it's worth fixing everything now or mark a previous one as ~ppc and fix the problems little by little

luca, what's the status on this?

[Comment 6 Mikko Tiihonen 2004-08-30 01:26:14 UTC]

Did the fix for bug #61868 which was added on 28 Aug to the zlib-1.2.1-r3 ebuild fix also this one?

Luca, can you take care of this bug?

[Comment 8 Luca Barbato 2004-09-22 16:26:08 UTC]
