Not necessarily. -fPIC and -fPIE force calls to global functions defined in the same translation unit to go through the PLT. They aren't translated to direct IP-relative calls. For -fPIC, this is required by the ELF specification (no kidding, this might seem strange today). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
