(ade@ cc'd as maintainer of devel/libtool)

Dear all,

I posted previously on the ports mailing list about problems that were showing up with net/freeradius when built with gcc 4.2 on 6.x and on 7.x amd64.

At that time I was wondering if there was an arcane problem in the toolchain, maybe in libtool. In fact, the solution appears to be straightforward, and not libtool's fault. radiusd was being built -pie, which was the default from upstream. Patching the upstream Makefile.in to remove -pie seems to resolve both problems. Thanks to Sean McNeil for the report.


The moral of the story appears to be "don't use -pie with libtool". I have no idea why the upstream Makefile.in is like this; I will chase it with the FreeRADIUS developers.


I've just submitted ports/118425
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=118425
which should fix that, as well as chasing a heimdal shared library version bump.


I believe those two fixes may qualify for committing during the current ports freeze; I've alerted portmgr@ separately.

I've also incorporated a couple of other outstanding fixes, though I realise that they may well not qualify to be committed alongside the others because of the ports freeze.


Best wishes,




David
