Hi Przemek and all,
Any opinion on this?
Brgds,

Hi,
We can stated that '-fpic' or '-fPIC' is necessary for 'so'-es. The
'-fpic' generates a smaller and faster code as it is stated in http://people.redhat.com/drepper/dsohowto.pdf
.
If the '-fpic' doesn't work for a huge 'so' code it, will be
signaled by gcc in its linking time, is not the case on my test
distributions.
The build time is not so long on my linux systems, so the method
proposed by Viktor is plausible [Sorry, I lost this info or I can't
realize the interdependencies]. The other proposal is to use '-fpic'
or '-fPIC' [-fpic my option] as default and optionally without, is
maybe the easiest IMO.
Best regards,
István

Recent changes in GNU Make system makes it possible to

I've proposed this option already, but without consent
/ interest / and most importantly input from Linux (*nix)
users, I couldn't start on that road.
my op is that it should just be on by default, and those who want
should be able to switch it off (-fPIC that is).
i think that despite speedtst showing what it's showing, it's an
incredibly synthetic test (i mean, c'mon, 98+% of the time you'll be
waiting for either the user or disk/network/other io, not the cpu),
and as such, it is great for checking whether you've just improved the
vm or actually made it worse, but i don't believe it to reflect
real-world usage at all.
