Is there any specific reason for not mentioning -fPIE in that request? That seems like a good middle-ground for static libraries. Reading up on the subject so far, I got the impression that most static libraries should be built with PIE, but not necessarily PIC (to allow building PIE(xecutable)s, but discourage creating shared libraries from those static ones.) To be honest, I didn't really check any use-case other than libsimgear-dev, which I'm concerned about. Kind Regards Markus Wanner
