...why though? I mean, it's position-independent, just load and relocate it wherever? Or does "PIE" mean something different in Linux from what it does in Windows?
- pkal 2y agoI am not sure what the rationale was (probably security), but this was a concious upstream change: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1764223 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1764223
- d110af5ccf 2y agoThe upstream bug: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=24323 https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=24323 An example of a problem provided in a different bug: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=11754#c15 https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=11754#c15 But I don't really understand what's going on in that example. Aside, it only took 9 years for that patch to get conclusively rejected.
