Bug#410176: libsdl1.2debian-alsa: libSDL-1.2.so.0.11.0 compiled with TEXTREL

[Russell Coker]

Package: libsdl1.2debian-alsa
Version: 1.2.11-7
Severity: normal

http://people.redhat.com/drepper/textrelocs.html

The above URL has information on text relocations.

The command "eu-findtextrel /usr/lib/libSDL-1.2.so.0" reports the following
errors (as well as many others):
either the file containing the function '_ConvertMMXpII32_24RGB888' or the file containing the function '_ConvertMMXpII32_16RGB565' is not compiled with -fpic/-fPIC
either the file containing the function '_ConvertMMXpII32_16RGB565' or the file containing the function '_ConvertMMXpII32_16BGR565' is not compiled with -fpic/-fPIC
either the file containing the function '_ConvertMMXpII32_16BGR565' or the file containing the function '_ConvertMMXpII32_16BGR555' is not compiled with -fpic/-fPIC

If the -fpic flags are added to GCC then the library will work better with
SE Linux (most domains are denied execmod access), work better on exec-shield
and PaX systems that don't run SE Linux (I believe that both those memory
protection enhancements control this even without SE Linux), and also possibly
work on some architectures that don't support shared objects compiled without
the -fpic flags.
