Package: dpkg Version: 1.18.13 Severity: important Hi,
recent rebuilds of supermin on a few architectures (at least powerpc, ppc64, sh4, sparc64) failed gcc no longer produces static binaries. It looks as if this breakage was introduced when "-specs=/usr/share/dpkg/pie-link.specs" became part of the command line via LDFLAGS. A quick test on powerpc showed that removing this parameter leads to a valid static binary. Cheers, -Hilko
