Is that > really the case or am I merely confused? -fpic (and -fpie) set a machine specific maximum size of the global offset table. For SPARC, the limit is 8K, which is usually not enough. -fPIC (and -fPIE) doesn't set a limit on the size of the global offset table, which should work for all architectures/code. There may be slight performance or binary size implications in using -fPIC/fPIE, but I'll defer to Jakub (or someone more knowledgable than me in the ways of gcc) to say whether that is the case or not. ~spot -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
