Description Richard W.M. Jones 2015-03-20 13:52:57 UTC

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1202091 +++

When you use the hardened build flags, and your package contains any
static linking at all (including in the ./configure tests), it fails
with the following error:

gcc -static -O2 -g -pipe -Wall -Werror=format-security -Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fexceptions -fstack-protector-strong --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -grecord-gcc-switches -specs=/usr/lib/rpm/redhat/redhat-hardened-cc1 -m64 -mtune=generic -static -Wl,-z,relro -specs=/usr/lib/rpm/redhat/redhat-hardened-ld -o init init-init.o
/usr/bin/ld: /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/5.0.0/../../../../lib64/libc.a(libc-start.o): relocation R_X86_64_32 against `_dl_starting_up' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/5.0.0/../../../../lib64/libc.a: error adding symbols: Bad value

Comment 1 Jan Kurik 2015-07-15 14:23:01 UTC

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 23 development cycle.
Changing version to '23'.

(As we did not run this process for some time, it could affect also pre-Fedora 23 development
cycle bugs. We are very sorry. It will help us with cleanup during Fedora 23 End Of Life. Thank you.)

Comment 2 Daniel Berrangé 2016-06-08 13:17:22 UTC

FWIW, this bug is really filed against the wrong component. The problem lies in redhat-rpm-config and a fix is shown in this bug https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1343892
