[Xen-devel] [XTF RFC PATCH] build: pass -no-pie to LDFLAGS

[Wei Liu <wei.liu2@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Starting from ee3e265688, $(CC) is used for linking. That means all
default $(CC) flags coming from distro takes effect.

On Debian Stretch, gcc contains -pie by default, which makes the final
object fail to link. We need to explicitly disable pie when linking.

Example error message:

/usr/bin/ld: /local/work/xtf.git/arch/x86/boot/head_pv64.o: relocation 
R_X86_64_32S against symbol `start_info' can not be used when making a shared 
object; recompile with -fPIC
/usr/bin/ld: /local/work/xtf.git/arch/x86/entry_64-pv64.o: relocation 
R_X86_64_32S against `.text' can not be used when making a shared object; 
recompile with -fPIC
/usr/bin/ld: final link failed: Nonrepresentable section on output
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
