           Summary: Cannot link default plugin when building on CentOS 5.4
                    x86_64
           Product: IcedTea
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: IcedTea
        AssignedTo: unassigned at icedtea.classpath.org
        ReportedBy: mbaudier at argeo.org


As discussed in bug #401, when building icedtea6-1.6 on CentOS 5.4 x86_64 (up
to date as of this comment), I get the following issue:

g++ -g -O2 \
          IcedTeaPlugin.o \
          -L/lib64 -lgtk-x11-2.0 -lgdk-x11-2.0 -latk-1.0 -lgdk_pixbuf-2.0 -lm
-lpangocairo-1.0 -lpango-1.0 -lcairo -lgobject-2.0 -lgmodule-2.0 -ldl
-lglib-2.0   \
          -L/usr/lib64/xulrunner-sdk-1.9/sdk/lib
-L/usr/lib64/xulrunner-sdk-1.9/lib -lmozjs -lxpcomglue_s -lxul -lxpcom -lplds4
-lplc4 -lnspr4 -lpthread -ldl   \
          -shared -o IcedTeaPlugin.so
/usr/bin/ld:
/usr/lib64/xulrunner-sdk-1.9/sdk/lib/libxpcomglue_s.a(nsThreadUtils.o):
relocation R_X86_64_PC32 against `nsIThreadManager::COMTypeInfo<int>::kIID' can
not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
/usr/bin/ld: final link failed: Bad value
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [IcedTeaPlugin.so] Error 1

I did:
./configure --with-openjdk
make

I can workaround the issue with the other plugin (although it is apparently not
recommended as described in bug #385):
./configure --with-openjdk --enable-npplugin

This kind of -fPIC issue reminds me of issue I regularly have when building JNI
interfaces in x86_64 platforms...

Please tell me if you need more information.
