0001-add-fpic.patch 2.16 KB
Without -fPIC, dmalloc does not build with:

/home/test/mips-4.4/bin/mips-linux-gnu-ld --sysroot=/home/test/outputs/test-35/staging -shared --whole-archive -soname libdmallocxx.so -o libdmallocxx.so.t libdmallocxx.a
/home/test/mips-4.4/bin/mips-linux-gnu-ld: libdmalloc.a(arg_check.o): relocation R_MIPS_HI16 against `_dmalloc_flags' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
libdmalloc.a(arg_check.o): could not read symbols: Bad value

This patch, taken from
http://sources.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/gentoo-x86/dev-libs/dmalloc/files/dmalloc-5.2.4-fpic.patch?hideattic=0&view=markup,
fixes the problem by passing the -fPIC flag. It isn't passed through
the ./configure environment in order to not clutter the configuration
cache with incorrect values.
