Bug ID: 77464
Summary: gcc -no-pie breaks -shared
Product: gcc
Version: 6.2.1
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: c
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: balint at balintreczey dot hu
Target Milestone: ---
Compiling shared libraries is broken with -no-pie, which should be a noop in
this case.
Test:
# echo "int bar(void) {return 0;}" > foo.c
# gcc -shared foo.c
# gcc -shared -no-pie foo.c
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/6/../../../x86_64-linux-gnu/crt1.o: In function
`_start':
(.text+0x20): undefined reference to `main'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
This prevents enabling --enable-default-pie in Debian because when PIE is
disabled for a package -no-pie is added to LDFLAGS.
One failure due to this bug:
