Bug 91783 – sys-libs/db-4.2.52_p2 fails to compile without -fPIC in CFLAGS

• Status: RESOLVED CANTFIX
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Matan Peled 2005-05-07 03:05:41 UTC]

Errors out complaining. If I add -fPIC to my CFLAGS in make.conf it works fine.

Build log.

Config log.

[Comment 3 Danny van Dyk (RETIRED) 2005-05-07 15:41:34 UTC]

From you compile log:
x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-g++ -c -I. -I../dist/.. -D_GNU_SOURCE -D_REENTRANT -march=athlon64 -O2 -pipe -fhandle-exceptions ../dist/../cxx/cxx_db.cpp  -DPIC

That's all, looks odd. -DPIC is used to declare: we us PIC, but the -fPIC is missing. 8-|

We'll have a look...

Can't reproduce this.

Call to Archtesters: Can you have a look please ?

[Comment 5 Simon Stelling (RETIRED) 2005-05-21 03:06:21 UTC]

can't reproduce either, your config log also looks fine...

[Comment 6 Rodolphe Rocca 2005-06-02 01:33:13 UTC]

I have this with gcc 3.4.4. I did not with gcc 3.4.3-r1.
