Description Ludwig Nussel 2012-01-24 15:50:50 UTC

virtualbox triggered the rpmlint check
"non-position-independent-executable" which means there are one or
more binaries that need to be compiled as position independent
executable.

To fix the issue add -fPIE to CFLAGS and -pie to LDFLAGS of the
binaries in question.

Comment 1 Ludwig Nussel 2012-02-27 13:41:36 UTC

the package will fail to build next month due to this
