Bug 28798 – [Gtk] does not compile with JIT on 64bit Linux

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: DUPLICATE
• Component: JavaScriptCore

[Yusuke Sato]

Original report: https://lists.webkit.org/pipermail/webkit-dev/2009-July/008930.html

$ ./WebKitTools/Scripts/build-webkit --gtk --debug
...
/usr/bin/ld: ./.libs/libJavaScriptCore.a(libJavaScriptCore_la-JITStubs.o): relocation R_X86_64_PC32 against `cti_vm_throw' 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[1]: *** [libwebkit-1.0.la] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/google/home/yusukes/WebKit/WebKitBuild/Debug'
make: *** [all] Error 2

The libJavaScriptCore_la-JITStubs.o IS compiled with -fPIC, however inline assembly code inside the source seems not to be PIC compatible. Note that release build doesn't have any problems since the assembly code in question is not used in the release build.

This will break the Mac build.  I'm sure we already have a bug about this too.

Ah, sorry. I overlooked the bug 28422.
