  • Bug#1100187: dpkg-dev: Please drop pie-{compile,link}.spec also on x32

    From Adrian Bunk@1:229/2 to All on Wed Mar 12 14:50:01 2025

    From: [email protected]

    Package: dpkg-dev
    Version: 1.22.2
    Severity: important

    This is a continuation of #1040062, with two parts:

    First, I would appreciate if an x32 porter could take a look
    and approve that pie-{compile,link}.spec should also be dropped
    on x32.

    Changing gcc to default to PIE on x32 would likely work,
    but the current situation with x32 being the only half-PIE
    architecture due to the random set of packages with
    hardening=+all being PIE and others not causes breakage.

    Examples of packages broken due to that:
    https://buildd.debian.org/freefem++
    https://buildd.debian.org/gpgme1.0
    https://buildd.debian.org/gprbuild
    https://buildd.debian.org/libedlib
    https://buildd.debian.org/libgpiod
    https://buildd.debian.org/marisa
    https://buildd.debian.org/python-pylibacl https://buildd.debian.org/python-pyxattr
    https://buildd.debian.org/roc-toolkit
    https://buildd.debian.org/uncalled

    It also causes extra work when people workaround this
    breakage for individual packages:
    https://bugs.debian.org/1092588
    https://bugs.debian.org/1095522


    Second, even on architectures like m68k and sh4 where the pie
    specs do not make a difference there is the occasional breakage like https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=pylsqpack&suite=sid

    While this might technically be a bug in a package,
    obscure breakage only on some of the most exotic ports
    rarely lead to fixing.
