I think you meant '-Wl,-z,relro', but -Wl is for passing ld flags down
from gcc. In the hardening-wrapper's case, it is passing the -z relro
directly to ld.
Additionally, it's not passed as white-space, it's passed as two
arguments. This is what -Wl,-z,relro does too. For example, if -Wl,-z,relro
works, so should hardening-wrapper:
$ strace -s 1024 -f gcc -o hi hi.c -Wl,-z,relro
...
[pid 15948] execve("/usr/bin/ld", ["/usr/bin/ld", ... "-z", "relro", ...
...
I don't have an m68k machine to test with, but if you run with
DEB_BUILD_HARDENING_DEBUG=1 you should be able to see the commands that
are being run during the configure script, and should help narrow down
the problem.
