On Android, within the termux environment, I encountered two problems during
the "make install" phase of GNU gettext. The attached patch fixes them.
1) On this platform, libtool is configured to relink libraries during "make
install". This leads to a problem during the installation of libgettextsrc:
The relink command that libtool emits has the form
$CC -shared -fPIC -DPIC .libs/*.o -L$(libdir) ... -lgettextlib ... -o
.libs/libgettextsrc-@[email protected]
The option -lgettextlib resolves to $(libdir)/libgettextlib.a, not to
$(libdir)/libgettextlib-@[email protected]. Thus the linker attempts to include many
object files from libgettextlib.a into libgettextsrc-@[email protected], but some
of these reference global variables in a non-PIC way, and the linker thus
complains
ld.lld: error: relocation R_ARM_REL32 cannot be used against symbol
'program_name'; recompile with -fPIC
2) The installed executables don't have a RUNPATH property that points to the
directory that contains the shared libraries. Thus these executables don't
run.
