Comment 1 Ray Strode [halfline] 2006-02-12 22:50:18 UTC

Looks like xorg-x11-server-sdk needs to use -fPIC on x86-64.

Comment 2 Mike A. Harris 2006-02-13 22:04:34 UTC

Indeed.  All .a libs should be -fPIC if there are no shared versions, which
is what happened in previous releases.  In 7.0, all the normal X libs are
shared now, so we don't even ship static ones.  libxf86config is a special
case, as it's part of the X server build rather than coupled with the other
libs.  Looks like this one just got left out in the rain during the mono->modu
transition.

Will be fixed in a future build.

Also filed upstream for inclusion in the next xserver/xorg release:

Comment 3 Jeremy Katz 2006-03-06 20:32:29 UTC

Bad hack that's okay enough for our packages committed in -8.  Leaving the
upstream bug open so it can be fixed correctly there
