           Summary: [PATCH] selectable with/without PIC to build libGL on
                    i386 Linux
           Product: xorg

        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P2
         Component: Lib/GLX

on ix86 Linux, GLX force to build without PIC flag. 
 
--- xc/config/cf/linux.cf (line 365...) 
/* 
 * Build shared libGL and the DRI modules without -fPIC on some 
architectures. 
 * This improves performance. 
 */ 
#if BuildXF86DRI 
# if defined(i386Architecture) 
#  define BuildLibGlxWithoutPIC YES 
# endif 
#endif 
---- 
 
  So, if we wisth to build libGL with PIC on i386 Linux, we have to edit 
xc/config/cg/linux.cf directly.  I think better to be able to select with/without 
PIC. 
 
  For Debian package, Shared libraries must to be built with -fPIC 
option. It is describe in Debian policy #10.2.
