Hi!
It looks like --disable-pie configure, which uses -fno-pie -no-pie flags
for the compiler, is broken: it does not not tell the *linker* about the
option, so the link fails (at least on debian bookworm):
/usr/bin/ld: libcommon.fa.p/hw_core_cpu-common.c.o: relocation R_X86_64_32 against `.rodata' can not be used when making a PIE object; recompile with
-fPIE
/usr/bin/ld: failed to set dynamic section sizes: bad value
This is failing for *all* executables, including tests, qemu-img, etc.
The following change fixes it:
diff --git a/meson.build b/meson.build
index a9c4f28247..0b7ca45d48 100644
--- a/meson.build
