Ben. -- Ben Hutchings Never put off till tomorrow what you can avoid all together. Dear Ben, there are no actual bug in compiler, just a caveat to work with it. Some time ago i had experience to build fully hardened nginx build, and I was forced to build shared libraries with -fPIC but not -fPIE due to linker errors. Solution was to separate build to executable only and shared-libraries only; this is semi-true: executable is successfully linked with -fPIC flag, but it's not used in packaging because of executable already built with -fPIE. This bug report is just another round of game with compiler/linker flags. In my turn, I would rather define protective flags to provide backward and forward compatibility. I disagree: you fix debian code but upstream kernel is also affected. I wanted to compile the upstream 4.4.26 for the COW fixe and cannot. Please revert. -- eric
