           Summary: StaticNeedsPicForShared YES is required on x86 by
                    default
           Product: xorg
           Version: CVS_head
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: * Other
        AssignedTo: xorg-bugzilla-noise at freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: mharris at www.linux.org.uk


StaticNeedsPicForShared is currently set to YES on all architectures
but x86.  When linking static libraries into shared libraries, PIC is
required on x86 or things will not link properly.  Parts of KDE and
other applications that link to static libraries will not compile
properly for example.

This is needed for all static libs to which no shared library is shipped,
in case some shared lib wants to link to that lib.
