The problem is that Parrot's build system defaults to Perl's compiler flags.
I guess that's where the "pie" flags come from. For a quick fix, one could
add some code to the build system that removes those flags. For a real
solution, Parrot should provide it's own compiler flags. I started some work
in this direction quite a while ago in branch nwellnhof/compiler_flags. But
I didn't get much feedback and support, and this is something that has to be
tested on all supported platforms.
Your branch is important and I hereby declare that I will help you test it on
as many platforms that I have access to. The GCC compile farm has just about
every platform that we support, but not every OS.
Please let me know how I can help.
We should test the branch on all "core platforms" which are: Linux
(x86), Win32 (x86), OS X (x86 and PPC), Cygwin, FreeBSD (x86), NetBSD,
OpenBSD, Solaris. Ideally both with and without ICU.
I tested the branch on Linux, and can offer to test it on Windows (MSVC,
MinGW and Cygwin).
If we don't find enough testers, we could also merge the branch and wait
until someone complains ;)
