+# "-fPIE" always triggers segmentation fault in ld.so.1 on mips platform,
+# which was first saw on dbus-daemon. Below borrow the binutils fix from
+# binutils bugzilla:
+#
+#	http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=10858
+#
+# Its commit message says:
+#	* elfxx-mips.c (mips_elf_create_dynamic_relocation): Use section
+#	sym dynindx for relocs against defined syms in PIEs.
+#
+# It's in upstream CVS now (rev 1.267), but not in current release
+#
