Hi Bálint, there is some confusion regarding how static libraries should be compiled now.
Your bugs (e.g. #837350) say "Please build libfoo.a with -fPIC". Why do these say -fPIC and not -fPIE? My current understanding is that a binNMU would recompile the the static library with PIE (not PIC), and that this is sufficient. Thanks Adrian -- "Is there not promise of rain?"
