Hello,
From GCC 6.2, -fpie is becoming the default setting at compile
and at link time.
As dmd uses GCC to link, now the code needs to be compiled
with a special option.
Which means you need, at the moment, to add the following
options to your dmd.conf:
-defaultlib=libphobos2.so -fPIC
(the change from GCC is related to security and address space
randomization).
So does this mean it's now impossible to compile statically
until this gets fixed?
It's impossible with the default `libphobos2.a`. I didn't try,
but I'm quite confident that if you clone the Phobos repository
and rebuild the library yourself with -fPIC, you can then link it
statically to PIE executables.
