This library (libmpg123.so) has text relocations. The problem is in the assembler files included, which are not pic-aware. I've created a patch that fixes this issue using this documentation: http://lists.virus.org/grsec-0501/msg00003.html http://linux4u.jinr.ru/usoft/WWW/www_debian.org/Documentation/elf/node23.html#SECTION00062000000000000000 The new libmpg123.so works fine in my system and now is fully pic. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge xmms-mpg123 2. 3. Actual Results: The library libmpg123.so is not fully pic. Expected Results: It should generate a pic library.

Created attachment 68275 [details, diff] The patch for the assembler code.
Created attachment 68276 [details] The new ebuild that uses the patch I've removed the "has_pic" check because now the library is pic. No matter if you enable or disable SIMD.
could you do me a favor and post that patch in plain text rather than compressed?
Created attachment 68342 [details, diff] The patch for the assembler code, uncompressed.
Created attachment 68343 [details] The updated ebuild
bumping to herd as i nolonger maintain xmms
Created attachment 70786 [details] This ebuild patches the assembler files to make the built library fully pic. I've updated the ebuild removing the line: inherit flag-o-matic because of the resolution of this bug: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=87232
