GCC installed from FreeBSD ports doesn't support building PIE executables and fails with: /usr/local/bin/ld: /usr/lib/crt1.o: relocation R_X86_64_32 against `_DYNAMIC' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC /usr/lib/crt1.o: error adding symbols: Bad value collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status However, the configure check for '-fPIC -DPIC' doesn't catch that. In order to catch this case, add '-pie' to CFLAGS in m4/virt-compile-pie.m4 so it could detect lack of PIE support on configure time and don't fail the build.
LibVirt : simple API for virtualization
Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
