Note that this bug is not specific to the broadcom code. It affects _all_ kernel module builds, and is caused by a recent change in gcc-5 (which makes -fPIE default).
The solution should therefore probably be implemented more generically than just in these packages: possible in dkms or in the kernel headers. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1578455 Title: bcmwl-kernel-source 6.30.223.248+bdcom-0ubuntu8: bcmwl kernel module failed to build [code model kernel does not support PIC mode] To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bcmwl/+bug/1578455/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
