Package: nvidia-cuda-toolkit Version: 8.0.44-3 Severity: serious Justification: breaks basic use of nvcc
Hello, Now that gcc has defaulted to building with pie, we're getting issues with the binaries produced by nvcc: cc -c -o test.o test.c nvcc -ccbin clang-3.8 -c test-cuda.cu -o test-cuda.o cc test.o test-cuda.o -lcudart -o test /usr/bin/ld: test-cuda.o: relocation R_X86_64_32S against `.bss' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC /usr/bin/ld: final link failed: Nonrepresentable section on output The attached archive shows this testcase: it just builds a test.o with nvcc, and tries to link it with gcc, and that fails with the message above. This can be fixed by passing --compiler-options -fpie to nvcc, but that's something that users will have a hard time understanding, while it will be basically always needed in Stretch. So I'd tend to think /usr/bin/nvcc should actually do exec /usr/lib/nvidia-cuda-toolkit/bin/nvcc --compiler-options -fpie "$@" to save users big headaches.
