Bug#856224: gcc-6: Please enable PIE on ppc64
Source: gcc-6
Version: 6.3.0-8
Severity: normal
User: debian-powerpc@lists.debian.org
Usertags: ppc64
Hi!
Since PIE is currently disabled on ppc64, gcc-6 emits the following
warning during build:
g++: note: pie specs /usr/share/dpkg/pie-compile.specs ignored when pie is not enabled
Unfortunately, this breaks the testsuites of packages like cmake for
which the warning is unexpected output when evaluating the test
suite.
For example:
Expected stderr to match:
expect-err> ^$
Actual stderr:
actual-err> c++: note: pie specs /usr/share/dpkg/pie-compile.specs ignored when pie is not enabled
actual-err> c++: note: pie specs /usr/share/dpkg/pie-compile.specs ignored when pie is not enabled
actual-err> c++: note: pie specs /usr/share/dpkg/pie-link.specs ignored when pie is not enabled
Since PIE is already enabled for ppc64el, I think we should also enable
it for ppc64 to mitigate this problem.
Thanks,
Adrian
