@hsteoh Well, as I explained before, when I used either my bootstrapped 2.067.1
or ldc to compile the D toolchain, building druntime failed, with the compiler
hitting the backend error in bug# 15935. Now, I bo

P.S. Note that you have to rebuild *both* druntime and phobos (in that order)
with PIC=1, otherwise it may not link successfully. And also, you might want to
run `make clean` in both druntime and phobos t

As for building libphobos.a with -fPIC, it's definitely possible, as I
described. At least, I managed to get it to work on my system. I'm not sure
what is causing problems on your system that makes this

Personally, I actively avoid using the shared version of Phobos, because it
makes it very annoying to deal with multiple versions of it, which comes up
often when you're actually working on Phobos rather than

@Martin: that forces you to link with Phobos dynamically. It doesn't work if
you want to statically-link Phobos.

Alternatively, DMD needs to invoke gcc with -no-pie when linking D executables.
However, I rather we don't go this route, because this would preclude ASLR
