Hi, I am trying to enable hardening-wrapper for cyrus-imapd-2.4 (http://wiki.debian.org/Hardening) and I had to disable HARDENING_PIE because the build failed on:
gcc -L/usr/lib -L/usr/lib -lpthread -o sievec sievec.o libsieve.a ../lib/libcyrus.a ../lib/libcyrus_min.a libsieve.a -L/usr/lib -lsasl2 -ldl -lfl -L/usr/lib -ldb-5.1 -lssl -lcrypto -lz /usr/lib/libcom_err.a /usr/bin/ld.bfd.real: /usr/lib/libcom_err.a(error_message.o): relocation R_X86_64_32 against `.rodata.str1.1' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC /usr/lib/libcom_err.a: could not read symbols: Bad value collect2: ld returned 1 exit status It looks like the problem is linking to a static libcom_err.a library. Does anyone remember why you need to link to a static library here? I guess you want a static lib from the configure.in comment: COM_ERR_LIBS="-lcom_err" # hope it's not shared Ondrej -- Ondřej Surý <ond...@sury.org>
