I let the build run in script(1) and searched the output for an object file that is causing the error (I took adaint.o). I found no -fPIC anywhere, where adaint.o has been compiled. On the other hand, when they create libgnat-4.7.so, they specify -fPIC. The way I see it, it is a case for the GCC Devs, perhaps it is a bug in the build system... I even did a build today which has explicitely passed `--enable-shared' to configure, to no avail. Same error occurred. Cheers rafi P.S.: The entire output of the build can be found in /home/raos/mgar/gcc4/trunk/typescript _______________________________________________ maintainers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.opencsw.org/mailman/listinfo/maintainers .:: This mailing list's archive is public. ::.
