[Debian-ports-devel] Bug#854061: Lack of hardening=+pie gives unwanted, unsilenceable noisy compiler output

[Thorsten Glaser]

James Clarke dixit:

I agree. I think everyone agreed that GCC should handle hardening
and dpkg should not pass the -specs= stuff any longer.

>and in fact is causing at least one crucial package, cmake, to FTBFS

Indeed. I porter-uploaded it for x32 by downgrading dpkg first
which made the build succeed.
