This means +it can only handle offsets up to a certain size, and can fail to work in +large programs. Compiling -fPIC allows larger offsets and should permit +large programs to function. As mixing object files compiled with -fpic +and -fPIC isn't allowed, the system c++rt0.o must be exchanged so that +-fPIC can be used everywhere. + +This package allows most of pkgsrc to compile on NetBSD/sparc systems +which run an OS version prior to 1.4.3 (which already contains this fix). |
