Description Stephen Cook 2003-10-22 21:10:14 UTC

Compiling gradm (1.9.12) failed when hardened-gcc was not installed.  But when
hardened-gcc is installed then it compiles perfectly

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:

2. install gradm
3.

Actual Results:  
did not compile

Expected Results:  
There needs to be dep in gradm for hardened-gcc

I don't think that's right.

gradm should never have to depend on hardened-gcc, infact the two are not
even compatible as gradm will link as static no matter what.
I've been told that linking static is a requirement of gradm by (Brad spender@grsecurity.net)

I've unmerged hardened-gcc over here and rebuilt gradm-1.9.12 four times
here with various set of CFLAGS without a single error.

Now what is very possible here is there might be some underlying gcc bugs
(gcc-3.3.x) with static linking that get fixed by pappy's hgcc specs.

What version of gcc are you running with?

I'll keep this bug open for a few days, but I think the end resolution will
be marked as INVALID.
