Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Alex Butcher 2011-09-09 10:12:20 UTC
Description of problem:

From the dhcp-4.1.1-12.P1.el6_0.4.src.rpm package changelog:
* Fri Nov 10 2006 David Cantrell <dcantrell> - 12:3.0.5-2
[...]
- Pass -fPIC instead of -fpie/-fPIE in compiler flags

From the dhcp.spec:
CFLAGS="%{optflags} -fno-strict-aliasing -fPIE -D_GNU_SOURCE" \

Building the libraries with -fPIE instead of -fPIC means they cannot be used to build Perl modules, for example.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

4.1.1-12.P1.el6_0.4

Alex, will you be willing to test new packages (architecture ?) to see whether
the problem is fixed in your environment ?

Comment 7 Alex Butcher 2011-09-14 09:38:27 UTC
Hi Jiri - sure, we can test. x86_64 is best for us, thanks.

Comment 8 Alex Butcher 2011-10-03 09:51:31 UTC
Sorry for the delay. I've passed it to a (busy) colleague for testing in his environment.
