Description Ricky Zhou 2011-08-30 05:07:50 UTC 
libopcodes.a isn't built with -fPIC, which prevents people from linking it into a shared library (on x86_64, at least).

Here's a patch against the F15 branch which recompiles libopcodes.a with -fPIC, based off of what was done with libbfd.a and libiberty.a.

Ping, any update on this?
Comment 2 Ricky Zhou 2011-09-30 01:16:04 UTC 
Ping, does the patch look reasonable?

Hi Ricky

  Sorry for the very long delay in responding to this issue.  Your patch look reasonable and so I have applied it to the rawhide, F16 and F15 releases.

Cheers
  Nick
