Description Roland Mainz 2004-11-12 20:28:14 UTC 
[Spin-off of bug 1815 ("RFE: Get Xorg compiling with the Sun Workshop/Forte XIPO
option")]
More or less every couple of months (=each time a larger set of updates to the
library has been made) the compilation in xc/lib/GL/ fails like this:
-- snip --
./libOSMesa.so.4.0:
ld: fatal: too many symbols require `small' PIC references:
       have 2112, maximum 2048 -- recompile some modules -K PIC.
-- snip --

I'll have a patch for that which should avoid this problem for the forseeable
future (hopefully :) ...

[FIXED_X11R68x] Patch for 2004-11-12-trunk

Requesting approval for X11R6.8.x-branch.

I know that the nomination period for normal patches is over but this issue
permanently harasses the developers - it's having a habit of lying low, like a
rake in the grass and waiting there to hit you at moments when you really don't
expect it. I'd like to see this bug dead dead dead... :)

Risk of the patch:
It's Solaris/SPARC only (=platform-specific patch) and deploys the well-known
workaround to all relevant Imakefiles instead of using it only in an on-demand
basis.

[FIXED_X11R68x] Patch for 2004-11-12-trunk

Approved for the X11R6.8.x branch in the 2004-11-17 release-wranglers phone
call.
Please don't commit it yourself, I'll handle that once the CVS service is
available again.
