Subject: [gentoo-user] If I avaoided pic/PIC/pie; would it help/hurt?
Date: Tue, 5 Dec 2017 17:48:52 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20171205224852.GA19788@waltdnes.org> (raw)

  I'm looking at going with...

CFLAGS="-O2 -march=native -mfpmath=sse -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -fno-pic -fno-PIC -fno-pie -fno-unwind-tables -fno-asynchronous-unwind-tables"
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"

...and with -pic in USE.  This is the mirror image of the defaults.  Any
obvious problems, aside from losing a bit of security?  In case you're
wondering about the "pic" USE flag...

[d531][waltdnes][~] grep ":pic " /usr/portage/profiles/use.local.desc 
app-arch/gzip:pic - disable optimized assembly code that is not PIC friendly
