Description:

libjemalloc.a is missing due to the makepkg defaults. IIRC -fPIC is not mandatory in Arch, so we should include the normal version as well.

This may also cause pkg-config output weirdness if used with --static option. The link flags default to -ljemalloc.
This task depends upon

Reason for closing:  Won't implement
Additional comments about closing:  There is no specific need for this static library that overrides our default "no staticlibs" policy

Arch does not package static binaries unless absolutely needed.

libjemalloc_pic.a is packaged and libjemalloc.a being stripped looks strange.
Comment by Allan McRae (Allan) - Wednesday, 02 August 2017, 07:43 GMT
Packages are built with PIE these days, so libjemalloc_pic.a can be removed.
Comment by Tatsuyuki Ishi (ishitatsuyuki) - Wednesday, 02 August 2017, 07:48 GMT
The _pic variant is built with -fPIC, and the regular variant isn't. The PIC variant is required for Rust.

Static library libjemalloc_pic.a is required for rust (and possibly others, see  FS#54791 ).
Other than that I second what Allan states: Arch does not package static binaries unless absolutely needed.

So any really good reason? Using -ljemalloc should link dynamically.

I have no more points, so feel free to close then.
