Subject: [sumo][PATCH] security_flags: disable static PIE in glibc
Date: Thu, 27 Sep 2018 06:53:55 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180927135355.28172-1-raj.khem@gmail.com> (raw)

From: Ross Burton <ross.burton@intel.com>

Static PIE doesn't work entirely right in GCC 7, for example ldconfig on ARM
with the flags enabled will something segfault during initialisation.

To mitigate this until we have GCC 8 integrated, don't enable static PIE.
