Mmmm, no, I don't think so. I really want the Linux/390 folks in Boeblingen to figure out what would be the correct fix for this. After I sent the patch, I re-read Ulrich's post much more closely, and re-discovered his thought that the "correct" way might be to introduce another makefile variable to handle this value for just the .oS files.
My patch just blanketly replaces fpic with fPIC for _all_ compilations that used the existing variable. I don't know if that is desirable or not, so I went back and changed my original fix to not do that, and instead updated the Makeconfig file. Since I am in no way a C/C++ developer, I don't want to send possibly boneheaded fixes to someone unfamiliar with Linux/390.

If you haven't already, you might forward this to [EMAIL PROTECTED] or such to remind the glibc maintainers about it. -- - mdz
