Hi all,

After the relevant discussion in the bzip2 static/shared lib patch, I
believe this patch is safe to be applied as is, since the argp static
library is only a dependency for the shared libwvutils.so. In my
opinion, it is fine to build argp with -fPIC since it's only going to
be used
in a shared library.

How about when wvstreams is built as a static library
(BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB)?

Makefile.in is a generated file, so you should rather fix Makefile.am
and set WVSTREAMS_AUTORECONF = YES, but wouldn't it just be simpler to
just add CFLAGS="$(TARGET_CFLAGS) -fPIC" to WVSTREAMS_CONF_ENV when
building in the !BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB case?

Hi Peter,

Yes modifying the CFLAGS is simpler. I will do that.
