Package: gentle Severity: serious Justification: FTBFS Hi,
as Christian Seiler pointed out[1]: It appears the dpkg-buildflags --get CXXFLAGS aren't passed in properly to that compile command, because the -specs=/usr/share/dpkg/pie-compile.specs is missing from that line. The build log scanner agrees with me: https://qa.debian.org/bls/packages/g/gentle.html (Other flags are not passed as well, that's why it complains. The scanner is linked from the package tracker btw.) And the only reason they built on the other archs is that the upload was done before PIE was enabled by default (and just on kfreebsd-amd64 and x32 the builds were attempted later). I suspect that the package actually FTBFS on all archs that don't have PIE enabled in the compiler by default now (haven't tried it though). I'm going to fix the issue with the means proposed in [1] by Christian. Kind regards and thanks to Christian for the hint Andreas.
