Dear list,
The Sage project (http://www.sagemath.org) has recently hit an
interesting snag : its developers using Debian testing began to
encounter difficulties compiling the flint package (http://groups.googl
e.co.uk/group/flint-devel) with gcc 2.6.0.
One of us found (see https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sage-devel/TduebNo
ZuBE/sEULolL0BQAJ) that this was bound to a conflict between the -pie
option (now default) and an undocumented -r option.
We would like to know what is this -r option, what it does and why it
is undocumented.
Sincerely yours,
Emmanuel Charpentier
