Description Mike Auty 2005-09-04 07:57:06 UTC 
I compiled xorg-server (0.99.1-r7 according to the gentoo package) and all the
associated libraries using the hardened gcc profile.  Everything compiled fine,
but starting the server showed the following libraries reported undefined symbols:

Module extmod - libextmod.so: symbol not found XTestJumpPointer
Module dri - libdrm.so: symbol not found drmGetLibVersion
Module nvidia - libdcc.so: symbol not found xf86DestroyI2CDevRec

Recompiling the xorg-server package only using the vanilla gcc module, the
server starts up and all works fine.  I also tried using the --with-pic flag,
but the server gave the same errors both with and without that flag.

If there's any further information I can provide or further tests I can run,
please let me know and I'll provide them as soon as I can...

pretty sure this is a dupe, iirc hardened tries to build things with -z now in
the linker flags and that simply will not work.
