Bug#764740: qrouter: FTBFS on various architectures "recompile with -fPIC"

[James Cowgill]

Source: qrouter
Version: 1.3.1-1
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 10.2

Hi,

Your package fails to build on various architectures because some files
were not compiled with -fPIC.

Eg on mips:
> cc -g -O2 -Wformat -Werror=format-security -g -O2 -Wformat -Werror=format-security -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -DPACKAGE_NAME=\"\" -DPACKAGE_TARNAME=\"\" -DPACKAGE_VERSION=\"\" -DPACKAGE_STRING=\"\" -DPACKAGE_BUGREPORT=\"\" -DPACKAGE_URL=\"\" -DSTDC_HEADERS=1 -DHAVE_SETENV=1 -DHAVE_PUTENV=1 -DHAVE_VA_COPY=1 -DHAVE___VA_COPY=1 -DQROUTER_PATH=\"/usr/lib/qrouter\" -DHAVE_LIBXT=1 -DTCL_QROUTER=1 -DLINUX=1 -DSYSV=1 -DVERSION=\"1.3\" -DREVISION=\"1\" -I/usr/include/tcl8.6/tk-private/generic -I/usr/include/tcl8.6 -c tclqrouter.c -o tclqrouter.o

All input files must be compiled with -fPIC when compiling shared
libraries, don't just add -fPIC to the link stage.

Thanks,
James
