Dear arm64 porters, petsc 3.7 (in experimental) fails to build on armhf (the previous version petsc 3.6 built fine).
The log is https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=petsc&arch=armhf&ver=3.7.2.dfsg1-1exp1&stamp=1467425583 The build passes configuration, compiles, but failings at the final linking step: CXX arm-linux-gnueabihf-real-debug/obj/src/tao/leastsquares/impls/pounders/gqt.o CXX arm-linux-gnueabihf-real-debug/obj/src/tao/leastsquares/impls/pounders/pounders.o CLINKER /«PKGBUILDDIR»/arm-linux-gnueabihf-real-debug/lib/libpetsc_real.so.3.7.2 /usr/bin/ld: arm-linux-gnueabihf-real-debug/obj/src/sys/info/verboseinfo.o: relocation R_ARM_THM_MOVW_ABS_NC against `__stack_chk_guard' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC arm-linux-gnueabihf-real-debug/obj/src/sys/info/verboseinfo.o: error adding symbols: Bad value collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status On the face of it, it looks like the build missed an -fPIC flag, but if that was the problem then I would have expected it to fail the configuration step. Does this error message make any sense to you? Drew
