Hi all
For anyone building on Debian testing or similar and getting linker failures, there is currently a workaround in progress by Ben Gamari that can be used.
It is based on first applying D2672, D2673, and D2674 and then configuring with
./configure \
CONF_CC_OPTS_STAGE2=-fno-PIE \
CONF_GCC_LINKER_OPTS_STAGE2=-no-pie \
CONF_LD_LINKER_OPTS_STAGE2=-no-pie \
CONF_CC_OPTS_STAGE0=-no-pie \
CONF_GCC_LINKER_OPTS_STAGE0=-no-pie \
CONF_LD_LINKER_OPTS_STAGE0=-no-pie \
CONF_HC_OPTS_STAGE0=-optl=-no-pie
for a more legible version.
