Description Rainer Orth 2009-01-29 16:50:00 UTC 
I had built the prerequisite libelf 0.8.10 for lto statically to avoid RPATH
issues, but noticed that by default liblto_plugin.so.0 failed to link since
libelf.a contained non-PIC code.  Building with -fPIC fixed this, but the
requirement better be documented.
Comment 1 Rainer Orth 2011-07-18 16:54:01 UTC 
Given that mainline doesn't use libelf any longer, there's no point in fixing or
documenting this.
