Source: reglookup
Version: 1.0.1+svn296-1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Dear Maintainer,

Build fails here:
gcc -o src/reglookup-recover -fPIE -pie src/reglookup-recover.o -Llib -L/usr/lib -lm -lpthread -lregfi -ltalloc
/usr/bin/ld: src/reglookup-recover.o: relocation R_PARISC_DPREL21L can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
/usr/bin/ld: src/reglookup-recover.o(.text+0x1fc): cannot handle R_PARISC_PCREL17F for fwrite@@GLIBC_2.2
/usr/bin/ld: final link failed: bad value
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

Full log is here:
https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=reglookup&arch=hppa&ver=1.0.1%2Bsvn296-1&stamp=1757429064&raw=0

The 32-bit hppa architecture doesn't enable PIE by default.  As a result,
reglookup-recover.c needs to be compiled with -fPIE.

With the attached patch, the reglookup package builds successfully on hppa.
Maybe another alternative would be to modify CFLAGS in debian/rules.

Regards,
Dave Anglin
