Well the problem was latent in 239-7 and probably gcc changed. The
thing is the error points
to an error in the link command. On hppa, it is almost always necessary
to link shared and pie
objects with -fPIC or -fPIE, respectively. There are compilations in
the link process and
the generated objects need to be position independent when doing shared
and pie links.
The attached patch fixes the failing link command although I'm not sure
it's optimal as
generally -fPIE and -pie need to be specified together. Meson appears
to test the options
separately. Putting them together as one option doesn't work. The
systemd build completes
with the patch. There was one timeout in the testsuite but the system
was under high load.
Looking at the "ld" man page, it doesn't say anything about -fPIE, only
about -pie.
Can you please provide some references why on hppa the linker needs
-fPIE in addition to -pie
-fPIE is not a "ld" option. It is a compiler option. Note that the
code uses the "cc", compiler driver,
to perform the link. The "-flto" option also is a compiler driver
option that enables link-time optimization.
Take a look at what happens when you do a shared or pie link with
compiler driver. Add "-v" to see
the intermediate steps.
-fPIC Generate position-independent code if
possible
(large mode).
-fPIE Generate position-independent code for
executables if possible (large mode).
-flto Enable link-time optimization.
-pie Create a dynamically linked position independent
executable.
-shared Create a shared library.
