Possibly due to messing around with hardened in the past, i'm finding that many packages are reporting that they need -fPIC now that i'm on 17.0 (and gcc 7.2 FWIW). I've added it to CFLAGs, as manually adding to each failed package via package.env was getting non-trivial.
>From the GCC man page it sounds like; fPIE = make executables position independent, and fPIC = make everything position independent Is there a downside to adding -fPIC to CFLAGs? It seems to allow everything to build and the system is working.
