If -fPIE is the default will -fPIC override it? It will also default to tell the linker to use -pie, but then don't do it when you want to create a shared library? >From what I understand, depending on what the .o file is going to be used for you want different things: - shared library: -fPIC - executable: -fPIC or -fPIE both work, but prefer -fPIE - static library: Same as executables For static libraries we now have a policy to not use -fPIC, should that then get replaced by using -fPIE?
