Well, if someone steps up and fixes autotools that would be nice indeed :-) The parameter would affect all binaries of package tough I guess. Atm only some binaries are compiled position independent. Meanwhile to avoid coding the actual flags into each package we could encourage to do it the way util-linux does it, ie honor $SUID_CLFAGS and $SUID_LDFLAGS for intended-to-be-setuid binaries. We could simply export those variables in rpm always, just like RPM_OPT_FLAGS. cu Ludwig -- (o_ Ludwig Nussel //\ V_/_ http://www.suse.de/ SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Jeff Hawn, Jennifer Guild, Felix Imendörffer, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
