Bug#687642: gnat-4.6: libgnarl-4.6.a should be rebuilt with -fPIC, libaws FBTFS
 

Package: gnat-4.6
Version: 4.6.3-6
Severity: Important

According to:

https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=libaws&suite=sid

libaws FTBFS at linking phase due to libgnarl-4.6 not built with -fPIC.
I am unsure what to change in the gnat-4.6 source to test that so I
don't have a patch for that, but if you gave me some pointer as to
what I should change, I'd gladly test and send a proper patch.

Regards

Konstantinos

Bug#687642: gnat-4.6: libgnarl-4.6.a should be rebuilt with -fPIC, libaws FBTFS
 

libgnarl-4.6.a is the *static* library, it should definitely not be
compiled with -fPIC.

The *shared* library, libgnarl-4.6.so, is already built with -fPIC.

If you have time before I do, please investigate why gnatmake, invoked
thus:

gnatmake -j1 -fPIC -p -Pdebian/build_aws.gpr -Xkind=dynamic
-Xsoname=libaws.so.2.10.2

tries to link the new shared library against the static version of
libgnarl-4.6. If we're lucky, the problem is in build_aws.gpr; if
we're unlucky, it is in gnatmake itself and only strikes on armhf
because all other architectures are OK. I have a hunch that the
latter is closer to the truth :/

Thanks for the bug report.
