[Pkg-javascript-devel] Bug#740569: node-gyp: make node-gyp compile unconditionally using -fPIC

[Ximin Luo]

Package: node-gyp
Version: 0.10.10-2
Severity: normal

/usr/share/node-gyp/addon.gypi has the following logic:

      [ 'OS=="freebsd" or OS=="openbsd" or OS=="solaris" or (OS=="linux" and target_arch!="ia32")', {
        'cflags': [ '-fPIC' ],
      }]

I request that the the 'target_arch!="ia32"' be removed so that -fPIC is unconditionally used.

Otherwise, lintian complains, when a package is built using node-gyp:
