I don't doubt that, but out of curiosity, considering that everyone else is using libtool, and libtool always uses -fPIC, what kind of impact does this *really* have? > I think the correct answer is for PL/Java to do s/-fpic/-fPIC/ on > CFLAGS in its Makefile, rather than trying to force the same on > everything else. That would certainly work, but is that the kind of interface we want to offer? In the extreme case, a module could end up redefining a great deal of the shared library knowledge that it was supposed to not have to care about. -- Peter Eisentraut http://developer.postgresql.org/~petere/ ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org
