A bit of googling shows that it's for security hardening of the code. I also found the fix. If I move -pie from AUXLIBS to CCARGS then it appears to build just fine. I think the issue is that with the new AUXLIBS_X attributes those options specified in AUXLIBS are no longer applied to everything so the linker was trying to link some position-independent code against other code that was not compiled with -pie. Moving -pie to CCARGS forces it to be applied to everything and fixes the issue. Peter
