Comment: So, we had a lengthy discussion on GStreamer's IRC channel to clarify *what* breaks. It seems usage of shared libs with non-PIC code is impossible under x86_64, and hence the linker refuses to output .so's for x86_64 with code from a non-PIC .a. I've reported this against Debian's check so that the maintainer either provides a shared lib, or builds with -fPIC, but if it affects all static libs for x86_64, we should fix Debian policy. -- Universe-bugs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/universe-bugs
