Bug 79119 – emerge grub fails with hardened gcc

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Ryan C. Sorensen 2005-01-22 11:32:39 UTC]

Emerging sys-boot/grub fails with line "configure: error: i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc cannot link at address 2000"

Running 'CFlAGS="-fno-pie" emerge grub' fails in the same fashion.

Running 'CC="gcc -fno-pie" emerge grub' succeeds as expected.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Compile gcc with +hardened.
2. Try to emerge grub.


Actual Results:  
emerge grub failed in configure.

Expected Results:  
Succeeded at emerging grub.
