However, when I look at the lzo package there is no standard way to build it with -fPIC. My workaround has been simply to remove the lzo package, but I'm not sure this is a good solution, and I don't understand why this problem doesn't seem to have been encountered before. Should I be building Xen with LZO support? (does everybody else build without LZO support?) Should I be adding fPIC to the LZO options and rebuilding LZO? Is there something else I'm doing wrong that is causing the problem? This could also be "broken toolchain" as: Subject: Re: [Xen-devel] [Qemu-devel] [Bug 1257099] [NEW] QEMU fails to build on CentOS 5.10 with relocation R_X86_64_PC32 error - msg#00032 On 12/14/13 15:21, Don Slutz wrote: On 12/09/13 08:22, Paolo Bonzini wrote: Il 09/12/2013 13:47, Don Slutz ha scritto: On 12/05/13 22:20, Don Slutz wrote: On 12/05/13 16:24, Richard Henderson wrote: On 12/06/2013 04:18 AM, Paolo Bonzini wrote: $ gcc -shared -o f.so f.c -fPIE -fPIC /usr/bin/ld: /tmp/ccQc9els.o: relocation R_X86_64_PC32 against `f' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC /usr/bin/ld: final link failed: Bad value collect2: ld returned 1 exit status The bug is simply that "-fPIE -fPIC" counts as -fPIE rather than -fPIC: $ gcc -S -o - f.c -fPIE |grep call call f # PC32 relocation $ gcc -S -o - f.c -fPIC |grep call call f@PLT # PLT32 relocation The easy workaround is to drop -fPIE when we're adding -fPIC. r~ ... talks about.

If you want the static-only case supported, then you'll need to contribute patches (and imo those should then cover not just lzo, but all of the compression methods other than lz4).
