I wouldn't expect this to be a kernel issue. I have yet to build a uclibc based host so I can only speak to what is going on on the glibc side of things. With glibc we build the glibc shared librarys with -fPIC, and then we build the binaries using -fPIE -fstack-protector-all etc... I would expect uclibc would have to have similar consideration. From a cursory review of the patches available in the 20080603 uclibc book it looks like the following patch privides that consideration. http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/patches/hlfs/svn/gcc-4.1.2-fpie-2.patch This patch should configure gcc to pass -fPIC to all objects that are compiled with -shared, -nostdlib, or -nostartfiles. Did you update this patch, and or find a functional one for use on your current build?
