Bug#293881: xlibs-static-dev: Bug confirmed on i386 but not on powerpc
Package: xlibs-static-dev
Version: 4.3.0.dfsg.1-10
Followup-For: Bug #293881
Hi,
For what it's worth, I _cannot_ confirm this bug on powerpc:
arcturus[1]:~% md5sum /usr/X11R6/lib/libxf86config*.a
ed5361f71938f122c7105f6438bfbbe1 /usr/X11R6/lib/libxf86config.a
8b39c319772106a6085db1b784797c77 /usr/X11R6/lib/libxf86config_pic.a
but I _can_ confirm it on i386:
wisteria[5]:~% md5sum /usr/X11R6/lib/libxf86config*.a
5b4617462ecf1b40b2185bdbf6a8bc86 /usr/X11R6/lib/libxf86config.a
5b4617462ecf1b40b2185bdbf6a8bc86 /usr/X11R6/lib/libxf86config_pic.a
(all packages are version 4.3.0.dfsg.1-10.)
My guess is that the _pic.a lib was only actually compiled with -fPIC on
arches where it is known that not doing so would cause problems, but it
was not realized that amd64 is such an architecture?
