Description Andrew John Hughes 2014-11-04 03:38:19 UTC

* QA Notice: The following files contain runtime text relocations
 *  Text relocations force the dynamic linker to perform extra
 *  work at startup, waste system resources, and may pose a security
 *  risk.  On some architectures, the code may not even function
 *  properly, if at all.
 *  For more information, see http://hardened.gentoo.org/pic-fix-guide.xml
 *  Please include the following list of files in your report:
 * TEXTREL usr/lib32/libx265.so.31


Reproducible: Always

    media-libs/x265: Add pic useflag to disable asm on x86.
    
    It is the best we can do unless upstream writes PIC safe x86 asm.

Profiles where this matters already force pic useflag I think.
