            Bug ID: 110550
           Summary: libintl build without -fPIC even though
                    --enable-shared is configured
           Product: gcc
           Version: 12.3.0
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: other
          Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
          Reporter: swilde@sha-bang.de
  Target Milestone: ---

This is kind of a sequel to #100096

Building on NetBSD 9.3 amd64

Configured with:
LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib -R/usr/local/lib" ../gcc-12.3.0/configure \
  --enable-shared \
  --enable-host-shared \
  --enable-checking=release \
  --enable-languages=jit \
  --disable-multilib \
  --disable-libssp \
  --disable-lto \
  --disable-libquadmath \
  --disable-liboffloadmic \
  --disable-libada \
  --disable-libsanitizer \
  --disable-libquadmath-support \
  --disable-libgomp \
  --disable-libvtv \
  --disable-libsanitizer \
  --with-gmp=/usr/local \
  --with-mpc=/usr/local \
  --with-mpfr=/usr/local

building fails, because libintl.a is build without -fPIC:

Strange enough, when manually entering the directory `intl` and
rebuilding the library simply by issuing `make clean ; make` it _will_
be build with -fPIC as expected.

Can you check if this only happens when you enable the JIT?  That is,
does it work when you remove --enable-languages=jit?

(please excuse my late reply)

Indeed without jit the build works as expected.

However, jit is the primary reason I'm building gcc on NetBSD.  
Building relocateable code also in the supporting libraries is essential 
for jit to work. (see also #100096 for reference)

Are there any additional tests i could provide to help resolving this issue?
