Hi! Since PIE is currently disabled on ppc64, gcc-6 emits the following warning during build: g++: note: pie specs /usr/share/dpkg/pie-compile.specs ignored when pie is not enabled Unfortunately, this breaks the testsuites of packages like cmake for which the warning is unexpected output when evaluating the test suite. For example: Expected stderr to match: expect-err> ^$ Actual stderr: actual-err> c++: note: pie specs /usr/share/dpkg/pie-compile.specs ignored when pie is not enabled actual-err> c++: note: pie specs /usr/share/dpkg/pie-compile.specs ignored when pie is not enabled actual-err> c++: note: pie specs /usr/share/dpkg/pie-link.specs ignored when pie is not enabled Since PIE is already enabled for ppc64el, I think we should also enable it for ppc64 to mitigate this problem.
