If you execute... grep ":pic " /usr/portage/profiles/use.local.desc
...you'll get multiple listings that mention... - disable optimized assembly code that is not PIC friendly - Force shared libraries to be built as PIC (this is slower) Question: does PIE imply pic/PIC? I.e does a PIE build also require USE="pic" and CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS="-fpic -fPIC"? If so, is there a way to disable PIE in profile 17.0? -- Walter Dnes <waltd...@waltdnes.org> I don't run "desktop environments"; I run useful applications
