This package ships non-PIC code in shared objects in the i386 variant The reason is that x264 uses a lot of hand written assembler that is not relocatable for performance reasons. Writing the assembler code in a way that is becomes relocatable is unfeasible. Upstream takes care to use non-pic code only on architectures that support this. -- Reinhard Tartler <siretart@tauware.de>, Fri, 10 Feb 2012 21:30:39 +0100
