Hi All, When I try and run configure with -fPIC -pic (as opposed to -fPIE -pie), I receive "C compiler cannot create executables".
./configure CFLAGS="-Wall -Wextra -Wconversion -fPIC -pic -Wno-unused-parameter -Wformat=2 -Wformat-security -fstack-protector-all -Wstrict-overflow -Wl,-z,noexecstack -Wl,-z,relro -Wl,-z,now" checking build system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu checking host system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu checking target system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu checking for gcc... gcc checking whether the C compiler works... no configure: error: in `/home/jeffrey/Desktop/sipwitch-1.3.1': configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables See `config.log' for more details Because LDFLAGS cannot distinguish between executables and shared objects, I was told to use -fPIC -pic: "using -fPIC instead of -fPIE is always ok" [1]. Any ideas how to get automake and friends to build ASLR enabled executables and shared objects in this manner? Thanks in advance Jeff [1] Request: Add -aslr switch that invokes -fPIE/-pie or -fPIC/-shared as appropriate, http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=52885
