Scott Lipcon <slipcon at gmail dot com> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |slipcon at gmail dot com --- Comment #9 from Scott Lipcon <slipcon at gmail dot com> --- We saw the same issue with gcc 4.9.2 on x86_64 Linux - we build the compiler with --disable-shared in order to be able to deliver our software on systems without libstdc++.so. Without the patches in this issue, we were unable to link our .sos to libstdc++.a because of the missing -fPIC. The patch I ended up using was a bit different than those in the comments below, but seems to be working for our installation: --- libstdc++-v3/configure.ac.orig 2015-01-08 08:40:40.480754159 -0500 +++ libstdc++-v3/configure.ac 2015-01-08 08:43:27.633844665 -0500 @@ -120,6 +120,11 @@ glibcxx_compiler_pic_flag="$lt_prog_compiler_pic_CXX" glibcxx_compiler_shared_flag="-D_GLIBCXX_SHARED" +elif test "${with_pic+set}" = set; then + glibcxx_lt_pic_flag="-prefer-pic" + glibcxx_compiler_pic_flag="$lt_prog_compiler_pic_CXX" + glibcxx_compiler_shared_flag= + else glibcxx_lt_pic_flag= glibcxx_compiler_pic_flag= I hope this gets applied to an official release at some point.
