I tried turning on the Yocto security flags and hit a compilation
error due to gtest not compiling. Adding -fPIC fixes the issue.
Since gtest only creates static libraries, compiling everything with
-fPIC might not be the correct solution.
it still is going to be linked with a PIE binary then it should be PIC
Wouldn't compiling all gtest objects with -fpie work in that case too?
I am no expert in this, but from the gcc manpage, it looks like -fPIE
will work only when linking with executables, while -fPIC will work in
either case. Thus I suppose it depends on whether we want to support
linking gtest against a library.
