[CMake] don't build libLTO when LLVM_ENABLE_PIC is OFF
ClosedPublic

Authored by sugak on Feb 9 2016, 3:30 PM.

Details

Summary

When cmake is run with -DLLVM_ENABLE_PIC=OFF, build fails while
linking shared library libLTO.so, because its dependencies are built
with -fno-PIC. More details here: https://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=26484.
This diff reverts r252652 (git 9fd4377ddb83aee3c049dc8757e7771edbb8ee71),
which removed check NOT LLVM_ENABLE_PIC before disabling build for libLTO.so.

I've verified that when cmake is run with -DLLVM_ENABLE_PIC=ON, libLTO.so is
still generated, as well as when this option is not specified and the default
value (ON) is used. Tested both on master and release_38.

That makes sense to me, but I'm not sure what Chris meant when he wrote: "Autoconf builds libLTO with -fPIC, CMake should be able to as well", it seems his change in r252652 enabled building libLTO *without* PIC?

@joker.eph: yes, in environments that don't set CYGWIN, after r252652 libLTO is always built, regardless of LLVM_ENABLE_PIC.

This seems reasonable to me too, but it would be good to hear what Chris thinks.

The LLVM_ENABLE_PIC option is oddly implemented on Darwin, and is really just broken. I have on my todo list to make better sense of it on Darwin.

This patch looks good, and should land.

Thanks,
