gnulib macro to check for PIC for a dependent library?

2024-06-24 Thread dmitrii . pasechnik
Building shared libraries which depend upon other libraries breaks whenever a dependency found (by something like AC_SEARCH_LIBS) was not built with -fPIC (or whatever the name of this option might be on the platform in question). And, preferably, one might want to check that the dependency is a dy
