Bug#672996: libstdc++6-4.6-dev: Static linking of C++ runtime fails due to relocation problems, recompiling with -fPIC needed.

[Flynn Marquardt <flynn@flynnux.de>]

Package: libstdc++6-4.6-dev
Version: 4.6.3-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

trying to link the C++-runtime statically with the option -static-libstdc++
fails for me with following error:

/usr/bin/ld: /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.6/libstdc++.a(ctype.o):
relocation R_X86_64_32S against `vtable for std::ctype<wchar_t>' can not
be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.6/libstdc++.a: could not read symbols:
Bad value

Please consider building /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.6/libstdc++.a
with the Option -fPIC,
maybe other version of gcc from version 4.5 (introducing the option
-static-libstdc++) too.

Flynn
