I think they are: libtool should build all files twice (w/o -fPIC for the static library and w/ -fPIC for the shared library). I also tried rebuilding the package just now on partch.d.o and it looks like this made the problematic relocation disappear. At least the output from "readelf -a" no longer contained any references to "R_PPC_REL24". Maybe there was a bug in the (non-standard) clang toolchain when alberta_3.0.1-1 was built on powerpc which has since been fixed? I have requested a binNMU for alberta and hope this will make the issue go away (#786500). Ansgar -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-powerpc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
