Hi Olivier, All,

Thanks for the investigation!

I don't think it's related to uClibc library but static build only
(BR2_STATIC_LIBS=y).

Can you try with LSB_BUILD=y in CUPS_CONF_OPTS ?
This allow to remove -fPIE -pie from CFLAGS.

Maybe something like:

# Remove -fPIE -pie from CFLAGS
ifeq ($(BR2_STATIC_LIBS),y)
CUPS_CONF_OPTS += LSB_BUILD=y
endif

Best regards,
Romain
