Bug#641082: FTBFS(s390x/sparc64): relocation truncated to fit

[Aurelien Jarno]

Package: ipe
Version: 7.1.0-1
Severity: important
Tags: patch
Justification: fails to build from source
User: debian-s390 at lists.debian.org
Usertags: s390x

ipe fails to build on s390x and sparc64, as on these architectures 
-fpic and -fPIC behaves differently. -fpic has a limit on the size 
of the GOT, while -fPIC doesn't. It's therefore better to use the
latter. The patch below fixes the issue, would it be possible to 
apply it in the next upload? Thanks in advance.
