[debian-mysql] Bug#457915: libmysqlclient15-dev: relocation R_X86_64_32S against `client_errors'...recompile with -fPIC

[Marc J. Driftmeyer]

Package: libmysqlclient15-dev
Version: 5.0.51-1
Severity: important

Compiling against KDE 4 Trunk revealed that the amd64 build produces bad
value reads in /usr/lib/mysql/libmysqld.a

To be exact:

Linking CXX shared module ../../../lib/libqsqlmysqlembedded.so
/usr/bin/ld: /usr/lib/mysql/libmysqld.a(client.o): relocation
R_X86_64_32S against `client_errors' can not be used when making a
shared object; recompile with -fPIC
/usr/lib/mysql/libmysqld.a: could not read symbols: Bad value
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: *** [lib/libqsqlmysqlembedded.so] Error 1
make[1]: ***
[akonadi/server/sqlplugin/CMakeFiles/qsql_mysql_embedded.dir/all] Error
2
make[1]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs...

Package KDEPIM for KDE 4.0 build fails for both 5.0 and 5.1
experimental. 

Suggestion: Build packages explicitly with the -fPIC flag.
