--- Comment #1 from Andreas Krebbel <krebbel at gcc dot gnu.org> 2012-01-03 08:45:59 UTC --- That looks like another fallout from having -fpic in picflag.m4. So I'll remove the s390*-*-* case in picflag.m4: s390*-*-*) $1=-fpic ;; Mike Frysinger once was after that but probably forgot about posting an updated version of his patch: http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2011-12/msg00579.html
