Bug 661572 – cross-i686-w64-mingw32/gcc-7.3.0-r3:7.3.0::local-crossdev produces non-functional executables

• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 644930
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Evgeny Stambulchik 2018-07-19 11:43:16 UTC]

$ i686-w64-mingw32-gcc hello.c
$ wine a.exe
$ 
(no output)

The problem seems related to the -pie option used by default at the linkage.

$ i686-w64-mingw32-gcc -no-pie hello.c
$ wine a.exe
Hello!

hello.c is a standard "hello, world" code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main(void)
{
    printf("Hello!\n");
    exit(0);
}

PS. Just checked under native OS instead of wine - the same.

I guess USE flag "-pie" should be set by default for w32/w64 cross-compilers.
