Subject: [gentoo-hardened] reiserfsprogs may not need filter-flags -fPIC

1 For lack of a better place to notify people of this, I will post here. I
2 just tested reiserfsprogs 3.6.17 with -fPIC -DPIC and it seems to compile
3 fine.

5 This bug seems to be relevant:

8 The BREG-asm error is indicative of someone calling a system call badly.
9 Indeed, look at the function name, bad_stat64(). Unfortunately, the bug
10 does not contain a version number, so I couldn't track down the bad code.
11 However, this function bad_stat64() no longer exists in the reiserfsprogs
12 source (I checked 3.6.17 only).
13
14 It looks like this code has been cleaned up and when I removed the
15 "filter-flags -fPIC" from the ebuild, reiserfsprogs compiled cleanly.
16
17 Can people test this and let us know of their successes and/or failures?

19 Thanks,
