Hello all,

Turns out my ldc2 compiler snap fails to work correctly on Ubuntu 16.10. When linking programs it falls over with the following message:

/usr/bin/ld: /snap/ldc2/4/bin/../lib/libdruntime-ldc.a(errno.c.o): relocation R_X86_64_PC32 against symbol `__errno_location@@GLIBC_2.2.5' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
/usr/bin/ld: final link failed: Bad value
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
Error: /usr/bin/gcc failed with status: 1

There's an upstream fix for this in progress, but I wanted to check my understanding of the situation regarding cleanbuild and classic snaps.

First, I'd thought that Ubuntu 16.04's GCC already generated position-independent code by default, but was this in fact only introduced with 16.10 ... ?

Second, is this something that could be solved by snapcraft itself? It's a bit unintuitive that one could do a `snapcraft cleanbuild` and find that in fact the snap won't work on a later Ubuntu release.

Thanks & best wishes,

    -- Joe
