Which flag(s) in `src/posix.mak` did you change?

Does

    make -f posix.mak MODEL_FLAG=-fPIC

work?

I'm sitting on a 16.04 system right now (which I don't dare to upgrade until this is fixed) so I'm just guessing.

Well, I haven't made any changes anywhere at all. I always download the deb file and install it. My program was compiling on 16.04, and wasn't compiling on 16.10.

So, I added

-defaultlib=libphobos2.so -fPIC

while compiling. That's it. But as you can guess, now I have to copy the libphobos on other computers as well as the executable. (libphotos2.so.0.71 is 9 MiB)

Where did you add it?

To the command-line or Makefile?

And which Make variable did you change?

I've tried

    make -f posix.mak MODEL_FLAG="-fPIC"

but C++ compilations still fail with complaining about libphobos2.a not being compiled with -fPIC flag.

-defaultlib is a DMD flag so that has not effect with the C++ compilations.

This must be fixed in the DMD Makefiles!

I you only tell me what to do I can make a PR to DMD that fixes these things.

It's the target `idgen` that fails for me.

"idgen" is a separate target [1]. It's a tool that generates some code.

Updated, but do I seriously have to do everything? I'm not even an Ubuntu user.
