[Qemu-devel] edk2 fails to compile in v4.0.0-rc2

[Olaf Hering]

It seems in qemu.git#master the edk2.git submodule is now mandatory.
For me it fails to compile. This is not a new error. It needs to be compiled 
with -fPIC since essentially forever.

But I wonder, why does it fail to compile only for me?!
Example of failure:

 $ grep -h CommonLib.o /dev/shm/*/.build.log

`.rodata.str1.1' can not be used when making a PIE object; recompile with -fPIC

What do I need to change in my setup so that -fPIC is not required?
