Debian started to build the gcc with --enable-default-pie by default so the kernel build ends before it starts properly with: |kernel/bounds.c:1:0: error: code model kernel does not support PIC mode Is this okay or do we want some kind of check to see if -fno-PIE is supported? It is mentioned in the 4.4.7 gcc manpage is it is not *that* new :) Signed-off-by: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- Makefile | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/Makefile b/Makefile index bf6e44a421df..97296d66b586 100644 --- a/Makefile +++ b/Makefile @@ -398,7 +398,7 @@ KBUILD_CPPFLAGS := -D__KERNEL__ KBUILD_CFLAGS := -Wall -Wundef -Wstrict-prototypes -Wno-trigraphs \ -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-common \ -Werror-implicit-function-declaration \ - -Wno-format-security \ + -Wno-format-security -fno-PIE \ -std=gnu89 KBUILD_AFLAGS_KERNEL := -- 2.9.3 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kbuild" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
