Hi,
I was compiling an authnz module and noticed that apxs2 does not pass -fPIC to the compiler by default when compiling .c files into .slo. Also, when passing -fPIC manually as part of the CFLAGS (command line is `apxs2 "-Wc,-Wall -fPIC" -c foobar.c`), the -fPIC gets stripped. libtool normally adds PIC for shared libraries, but apxs2's copy of libtool even removes an explicitly specified -fPIC flag? Opensuse 10.3 i586 and x86_64, Linux 2.6.23.17, apache2 2.2.4. $ touch foo.c $ apxs2 -c foo.c -fPIC /usr/lib64/apr-1/build/libtool --silent --mode=compile gcc -prefer-pic -DLINUX=2 -D_REENTRANT -D_GNU_SOURCE -pthread -I/usr/include/apache2 -I/usr/include/apr-1 -I/usr/include/apr-1 -c -o foo.lo foo.c && touch foo.slo /usr/lib64/apr-1/build/libtool --silent --mode=link gcc -o foo.la -rpath /usr/lib64/apache2 -module -avoid-version foo.lo -fPIC As can be seen, -fPIC is not passed to the compiler, but only to the link stage. Any ideas? Thanks, Jan
