Description

I am trying to build a cross-compiler for x86 on a x86_64 machine. I run into the error that it complains I should recompile with -fPIC. This is with the most recent gcc 7-based buildtools.

See the screenshot for the full message.

I stumbed on this commit on a previous version. Some parts of the linker scripts are not in the current incarnation.

I think that commit was at least partially reverted...?

Anyway, it looks like this was an issue on 5.4 also: https://github.com/haiku/webkit/pull/4

CC'ing KapiX for his input.

Nope, I didn't see that on 5.4. From the beginning I was building with 7.3.

I'm not so sure about LINK_SPEC being the issue anymore though. It needs more in-depth debug. The commit nielx linked could be the solution.

EDIT clarification: I didn't even try building with 5.4, so I don't know if the issue reproduces there.

OK, so this may very well be my fault.

I think the commit KapiX links was partially reverted due to #12451. I'm not sure how -fpic isn't being passed anymore. I'll have some time this weekend, I guess.
