I don't get it... This just changes what you're allowed to pass in via |
9 |
your own CFLAGS variable. If xorg-x11 is unstable on alpha due to PIC |
10 |
issues, then we need to fix the Makefiles to include -fPIC where |
11 |
necessary. |

OTOH, usually lacking -fPIC results in a build failure, not run-time |
14 |
failures. Are you sure this is what made the difference for you? |
