Hi,

(+coresight mailing lists.)

Looked at this - -fpic is supposed to generate smaller code then -fPIC.

That said, I've tried both variants for x86_64 and aarch64 builds:

x86_64 showed no change, (gcc 5.4)

cross compiled aarch64 code was 0.45% smaller using -fpic rather than -fPIC. (gcc 6.2)

native compiled aarch64 code showed no change (gcc 4.9)

While we could add some code to the makefile to dynamically change the -fPIC/pic option when building on sparc architectures, unless there are objections on the mailing list, I propose to change to -fPIC across the board at this point.

This will be released as a  0.11.1 patch (along with another minor build fix.)

Regards

Mike
