Package: pypy
Version: 2.3.1+dfsg-1
Severity: important
Tags: patch
Usertags: hppa
pypy fails to build on the hppa architecture, because it needs the -fPIC
compiler flag when building a shared library.
A failing log can be found here:
http://buildd.debian-ports.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=pypy&arch=hppa&ver=2.3.1%2Bdfsg-1&stamp=1402427043
The trivial patch attached here fixes this. With it, I could build pypy
sucessfully on hppa arch.
Please apply for the next upload.
By the way, the x32 architecture needs a similar patch:
http://buildd.debian-ports.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=pypy&arch=x32&ver=2.3.1%2Bdfsg-1&stamp=1404302606
Thanks,
Helge
