I have built openssl-0.9.8k and am trying to link libcrypto.a statically with
my project. I think libcrypto.a contains contains non-relocatable functions
For example, consider the following:
#include <openssl/des.h>
void foo(void) {
DES_encrypt3(NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL);
AES_encrypt(NULL, NULL);
}
$ gcc -fPIC -o libfoo.so -shared foo.c /usr/lib/libcrypto.a
$ eu-findtextrel libfoo.so
the file containing the function 'DES_encrypt3' is not compiled with -fpic/-fPIC
the file containing the function 'DES_decrypt3' is not compiled with -fpic/-fPIC
the file containing the function 'DES_ncbc_encrypt' is not compiled with
-fpic/-fPIC
the file containing the function 'DES_ede3_cbc_encrypt' is not compiled with
-fpic/-fPIC
This does not happen on 64bit system and eu-findtextrel reports on text
relocations. I think this is the default behavior on 32 bit systems.
Can someone point me to why building static libs on 32 bit system with fPIC is
a bad idea?
Also, if I want to build the static lib with fPIC, how do I go about it? All
the .o files are built with fPIC.
