But how to Even before static-pie it was wrong. If you're making a dynamic-linked PIE executable but want to static link libgmp, it will be wrong. > deal with this generally? Many libraries assume the static one does not > need PIC. Everything else honors the compiler's default. If $(CC) was built for default-pie, or if you set CC="gcc -fPIE -pie" or something similar, you'd get a static library that's PIE-compatible. Only gmp is broken because its asm is wrongly poking at some libtool vars rather than __PIC__ from the compiler. > In case of GMP, I would argue they can add a test to determine if the > toolchain generates static-pie, and turn on PIC by default if so. No > clue if upstream will like that, though. All they need to do is look at __PIC__ in place of whatever wrong test they're doing now. The question is just how easy this is to patch. Rich
