The issue is that without a clean build you may have some .o files left around that are built without PIE enabled (i.e., compiled without -fPIE), and attempting to link them into a PIE executable will fail with an error like: ld: error: can't create dynamic relocation R_X86_64_32 against local symbol in readonly segment; recompile object files with -fPIC or pass '-Wl,-z,notext' to allow text relocations in the output I am not aware of any configuration that would link successfully, but then have some run-time failure. If it builds it should work. _______________________________________________ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
