Hi all, Working on the fasm ebuild, have some questions:
1. fasm is written on itself and has two variants: self-contained binary for x86 and amd64 and linked with libc only for x86. Also, there are tools for working with the proprietary symbolic information format which is libc-linked and only x86. So, I provide two USEs, fail in pkg_setup if we on amd64 host and hasn't multilib profile if they are set and link it with default CC with -m32. Not sure it's a 'clean' way, would be happy to get some clarification about handling such cases.
2. When running my ebuild, got two warnings: one about text relocations, other about executable stack. Second problem seems trivial, just apply patches which adds corresponding ELF sections. But the first one is not clear: I found that TEXTRELs occurs due to default '--pie' option passed to ld by gcc and seems like it isn't possible to remove default ld options (only add to), so I can construct ld commandline for linking with libc manually and resolve a bunch of corner cases... But is avoiding TEXTRELs in assembly programs really necessary? Performance issues in case of assembly-written assembler seems negligible... What's best according to ::gentoo policies?
